• All student training Manuals used during the course + online access to the ScubaEngineer.com technician database
• All compressor spare parts & consumables used during the course
• Free Tea/Coffee and high speed Wi-Fi internet access at the training center
• There are no formal pre requisites for this course.

Key Benefits

• Prevents costly damage to the compressor unit through lack of operator care
• Prevents costly damage or destruction of the dive centers scuba tanks through the moistures damage resulting from the damp air supplied from an incorrectly cared for compressor
• Provides proof of formal compressor and air bank training. When a new compressor stops working, manufacturers often blame the operator or the owner if the person responsible for compressor operation has no training. If the compressor operator has formal training, the blame for compressor failure shifts to the manufacturer or supplier of the unit.

* Exact compressor models used for training may vary as older units are retired and newer units are brought into the technician training workshop.
