Training Overview

Training Overview

In many workplaces, non-engineering professionals are required to work alongside technical teams and interact with mechanical equipment, often without formal training in the field. The Mechanical Appreciation for Non-Engineers training course is designed to bridge that knowledge gap by introducing the core principles of mechanical engineering in a practical, easy-to-understand format. This course empowers participants to better understand how machines operate, recognize common causes of failure, and communicate more effectively with engineers and technical staff. Through hands-on learning and real-world examples, the training simplifies complex systems and terminology—making mechanical concepts accessible, relevant, and immediately applicable on the job.

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering and applied mechanics
  • Identify and describe key components of mechanical systems and machinery
  • Interpret basic technical drawings and mechanical documentation
  • Communicate more effectively with engineering and maintenance teams
  • Understand how to identify potential mechanical issues and basic troubleshooting steps
  • Gain confidence in working within environments involving mechanical operations

Who is this Training Course for?

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Project managers and team leaders working with engineering departments
  • Procurement, operations, and HSE professionals
  • Administrative or office personnel working in technical environments
  • HR, finance, or supply chain staff interacting with engineering or plant teams
  • Business analysts, coordinators, and technical support roles
  • Anyone seeking a foundational understanding of mechanical systems

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes an interactive mixture of lecture-led learning & group discussions.
