Welcome Back!
The ability to interact with ASME instructors who bring real world experience, examples, and best practices to life in our learning experiences is a major reason learners choose face to face training. Networking with peers is also a valuable part of the time spent together during a course. We are excited to start offering these important courses again in person.
Schedule: This course commences at 8:30 AM and ends at 5:30 PM local time, each day, with breaks scheduled throughout.
May Venue: This course will be held at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel in conjunction with ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Week.
