In past, I offered lectures at Training Classes. Different topics from Piping are selected. These are indicated below. The total course content is in Megabites. My piping training program includes class notes as .pdf files. Piping Book is given to students of Piping Training Courses conducted by me.

Training Courses for Piping.
• All topics as Power Point Presentations are available for teaching for US$ 60 or 3,600.
• The entire training material as Notes in .pdf format, catalogs, CAD manual and Resources are available for teaching for US$ 20 or 1,200.
