Reduce human error in gas turbine operation & maintenance by educating & training the operation & maintenance staff onsite

Excellent training quality

VBR Turbine Partners' broad experience with repair, overhaul and remote analysis guarantees an extensive knowledge of the LM gas turbines and their control systems. Not only does this result in constantly improving services, we also make this knowledge available to our clients through channels as helpdesk, training & consultancy.

Our training instructors are full-time professionals who are very experienced with all aspects of turbine operation, maintenance and control. In the training courses they combine theoretical knowledge with practical hands-on training to ensure maximum value and relevance for the client.

Each trainee will receive a training manual covering the relevant subjects of the training course. This manual consists of equipment descriptions, schematics and operation & maintenance instructions.  It is enriched with an abundance of reference information for further private studies. Therefore our training manuals keep their value over time and in the long term they are often used as primary reference manuals.
