Who the course is for
For skilled workers with completed vocational training in plant mechanics, electrical, energy, instrumentation and control or process engineering who are moving into hydrogen projects. We assume a basic technical knowledge.
What you will learn
Fundamentals: properties of hydrogen, production by electrolysis, storage, transport and use, right through to the fuel cell.
Safety: hydrogen is odourless, burns with a barely visible flame and is explosive across a wide range of concentrations. You will learn about explosion protection and Ex zones, leak tightness, gas detection technology and what to do in the event of an incident.
Materials: choice of materials, hydrogen embrittlement, seals and joining technology.
Regulations: the Industrial Safety Regulation (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung), the Hazardous Substances Ordinance (Gefahrstoffverordnung) and the DVGW rules, in which hydrogen is listed as a gas family in its own right.
Good to know
The course teaches the fundamentals. It does not replace a safety briefing in your company, nor any qualification or certificate of competence under the Industrial Safety Regulation (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung) or the DVGW rules.
FAQs
What prior knowledge do I need?
Completed technical vocational training, for example in plant mechanics, electrical or process engineering. During your consultation we will clarify whether the course is right for you.
Will I receive a DVGW certificate of competence?
No. Formal certificates of competence are provided by the courses designed for that purpose. Our course prepares you technically for working with hydrogen.
