Leak Testing and Procedures – WORKSHOP (P2)
This module is suitable for technical specialists, technicians, engineers and industrial foremen who want to gain initial experience with leak tests on systems with hydrogen after real contact with hydrogen. Designed as a workshop, the participants can independently carry out various leak tests on gas systems using exemplary subsystems. Admission requirement: Successful participation in module P1 Learning goals: • You will obtain experience in checking a gas system for leaks and identifying any leaks. During the course, you carry out an initial rough quantification of leak rates. • In the workshop you gain an insight into alternative methods of leak testing and know the central distinguishing features. • The course enables you to select suitable internal procedures for leak tests and you are aware of their limitations. Final exam: Certificate of participation in “Leak Testing and Procedures – WORKSHOP” Duration: 0,5 days
Inspection and Maintenance, practice (IM2)
The training is aimed at technical specialists, technicians, engineers and industrial foremen who are active at the interface between the construction and commissioning of the hydrogen system and who want to understand the difference between the tasks of manufacturers, installers and operators or testers or approval authorities. Possible future tasks include the creation or release of test, maintenance and service plans for hydrogen systems. Admission requirement: Successful participation in module B3 Learning goals: • You will understand the division of tasks between suppliers, manufacturers, installers and operators and check them using documents. • You will find your way pragmatically through the relevant basic regulations for stationary and mobile systems and have gained initial practical experience. Final exam: Certificate of participation in “Inspection and Maintenance (practice)” Duration: 1-2 days

Practical experiences in handling hydrogen (P1)
This module is aimed at technical specialists, technicians, engineers and industrial foremen who want to experience real contact with hydrogen. Hydrogen is colorless and odorless, but its noise as it flows out of valve openings and its heat build-up when ignited are lasting impressions for every participant. Admission requirement: Successful participation in module B1 Learning goals: • You have your first real experiences with hydrogen and can therefore also evaluate the essential properties of hydrogen instead of the theoretical slides. • The insight into the real behavior of hydrogen as a gas enables you to approach your own tasks (pressurization, pressure relief, flushing, valve replacement) in the later modules in a sensitized manner. Final exam: Certificate of participation in “Practical experiences in handling real hydrogen” Duration: 0,5 days
Inspection and Maintenance, theory (IM1)
The training is aimed at technical specialists, technicians, engineers and industrial foremen who are active at the interface between the construction and commissioning of the hydrogen system and who want to understand the difference between the tasks of manufacturers, installers and operators or testers or approval authorities. Possible future tasks include the creation or release of test, maintenance and service plans for hydrogen systems. Admission requirement: Successful participation in module B3 Learning goals: • You will understand the division of tasks between suppliers, manufacturers, installers and operators. You will be aware of the relevant tasks in involving approval authorities and independent testing organizations. • You will be familiarized with the basic regulations for stationary and mobile facilities and their differences.

Refuelling protocols (RP)
This course is aimed at engineering or product / project management staff. This course will take you through everything you ever wanted to know about refuelling protocols! Aka: what do I need to take into consideration when filling a hydrogen tank with compressed hydrogen. We start with the principles and effects that are at play and how to safely design against them, look into the effects of tank design, visit and compare commonly used refuelling protocols for various applications and how they approach the technical questions, look into areas of development and recent trends in protocol development vs. tank development and wrap up with a systemic view on performance, energy requirements and the role of the refuelling protocol on application system design and integration. Learning goals: After the course, the participant will have a good understanding of: • the interaction between infrastructure and (mobile) application, • the required interfaces and design choices as well as trade-offs when designing either the infrastructure or the application side. Final exam: Certificate of participation. Duration: ½ day Prerequisite: HyV0
