Intermediate programme
Running a quality system across a cement plant, from sampling point to certificate.
Cement quality is decided at a dozen points between quarry and silo, and most quality problems are traced to the sampling rather than to the testing. This week builds the control system: where to sample and how often, laboratory methods and their precision, control charts that distinguish drift from noise, and the release process behind a certificate. Standards conformity and customer complaint handling close the week.
It runs 7 times over the published calendar, in 6 cities and live online. Every date is the same programme with the same content and the same certificate.
Quality managers and laboratory supervisors, process engineers, production superintendents, and technical staff handling customer complaints.
This is an intermediate level programme. It assumes you are working in or moving into the area it covers, and it is built around your own material rather than a case study. If you are unsure, ask an advisor before registering rather than after.
Ask an advisorShort input, then work. Across 5 days of roughly 6 teaching hours each, the balance sits deliberately with the second: a programme where the trainer talks for six hours produces notes rather than capability.
Exercises run on situations delegates bring, not on a case study written for a different organisation in a different decade.
Small enough that everybody is asked something. Executive programmes are capped tighter still.
The difficult conversation, the challenged assumption, the decision defended out loud. Judgement is not built by watching.
Each day ends with a thing you can use on Monday rather than a slide deck you will not reopen.
A GATI certificate recording what you attended, issued after the programme has run and attendance has been taken. Attending at least 80 per cent of the days earns a certificate of completion; attending less earns a certificate of attendance stating exactly what was attended.
Every certificate carries a code that anybody can check against GATI's own record, which is what makes it worth holding. It records participation. This site will not imply one it does not have.
Register on a published date, or tell an advisor what you need and they will come back with something specific rather than a brochure.
Cement Manufacturing
Part three: durability. The chemical attacks that destroy hardened cement, and what resists them.
Cement Manufacturing
Part two: hydration. The reactions that turn cement powder and water into a hardened solid.
Cement Manufacturing
Monitoring and controlling emissions to the standard a regulator and a neighbour will both accept.
Cement Manufacturing
What makes a cement good for its use, and how the properties that matter are measured and controlled.
Cement Manufacturing
The materials a cement plant consumes, their variability, and the processes that prepare them.
Cement Manufacturing
Cement chemistry at depth, linked to how it is made and how it is tested.
Cement Manufacturing
Producing blended cements: material selection, grinding strategy and the quality control they demand.
Cement Manufacturing
The kiln as a chemical reactor: controlling the burning zone to make clinker of the quality you intended.
