SAFe® for Government: In-House Training Transitioning to Lean-Agile practices for building technology-based capabilities is especially challenging in the government context. But issues of legacy governance, contracting, and organizational barriers can be overcome with the right information and strategies. During this course, attendees will learn the principles and practices of the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®), how to execute and release value through Agile Release Trains, and what it means to lead a Lean-Agile transformation of a program inside a government agency. Attendees gain an understanding of the Lean-Agile mindset and why it's an essential foundation for transformation. They'll also get practical advice on building high-performing, multi-vendor Agile teams and programs, managing technology investments in Lean flow, acquiring solutions with Agile contracting, launching the program, and planning and delivering value using SAFe®. Attendees also learn how specific leadership behaviors can drive successful organizational change in government.

The purpose of this course is to describe the principles and procedures of Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Studies. HAZOP is a structured and systematic technique for examining a defined system, with the objective of: Identifying potential hazards in the system. The hazards involved may include both those essentially relevant only to the immediate area of the system and those with a much wider sphere of influence, e.g. some environmental hazards; Identifying potential operability problems with the system and in particular identifying causes of operational disturbances and production deviations likely to lead to nonconforming products. An important benefit of HAZOP studies is that the resulting knowledge, obtained by identifying potential hazards and operability problems in a structured and systematic manner, is of great assistance in determining appropriate remedial measures. The course is designed using the tools and techniques identified by IEC 61882:2016. LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of this course you will understand how to: prepare for a HAZOP study meeting and programme – including defining the scope of the study and choosing the team choose nodes (parts of the drawings or operation for HAZOP study) estimate the programme requirements for the successful completion of a study use facilitation techniques to motivate the team and keep them on task avoid common problems encountered during study meetings, including challenging behaviours formulate the HAZOP study report fulfil the team leader’s role in implementing recommendations and managing the process FOR WHOM Anyone with experience of the HAZOP technique who is required to lead HAZOP studies Process safety engineers, loss prevention specialists, production engineers, process design engineers, project engineers, process programmers and instrument control engineers Risk Managers COURSE CONTENT Introduction to HAZOPWhat is a HAZOP?What are Hazards and Risk?Limitations of HAZOPsEssential Features of HAZOP Principles of examination Design representation Design requirements and design intent Applications of HAZOP Relation to other analysis toolsFailure Mode Effect AnalysisAs Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)Fail Tree AnalysisEvent Tree Analysis HAZOP study limitations Risk identification studies during different system life cycle stagesConcept stageDevelopment stageRealization stageUtilization stageEnhancement stageRetirement stage The HAZOP study procedure Initiate the study Define scope and objectives Define roles and responsibilities Preparation Plan the study Collect data and documentation Establish guide words and deviations Examination Structure the examination Guidewords and Deviations Causes, Consequences and Safeguards Perform the examination Risk Ranking Documentation and follow up Establish method of recording Output of the study Record information Sign off the documentation Follow-up and responsibilities Case Study and practical application TRAINING METHODOLOGIES Presentation Case Study Individual Exercises Group Exercises DURATION: 4 Days (Examination on day 4)

Description Dyslexia Awareness diploma The Dyslexia Awareness diploma course revolves around Dyslexia, a learning disorder that affects children early on in life and impairs their reading, writing, speaking and spelling abilities. Although not entirely curable, the condition's intensity can be watered down with prompt diagnoses and appropriate teaching strategies. The joint efforts of teachers and parents are pivotal in treating dyslexic children. The Dyslexia Awareness diploma course will benefit individuals planning on seeking employment in the sector of education where there is a likelihood that they will encounter dyslexic children and those who merely want to gain some insight on the disorder. It comprises a progressive guide and interactive material, enabling an engaging and efficient learning experience. The Dyslexia Awareness diploma course will give you an insight into the different forms of Dyslexia plus other similar learning disorders. It will elucidate the common signs and symptoms of Dyslexia and what each of these symptoms entails. You will be acquainted with the common behavioural traits of dyslexic children in an academic setting. Moreover, this Dyslexia Awareness diploma course will shed light on the available cognitive approaches employed in treating dyslexic children. You will recognise how laws work concerning Dyslexia and how those regulations are implemented in school settings. This flexible Dyslexia Awareness diploma course covers all the crucial aspects of the condition and prepares you for your real-life encounters. Dyslexia impairs many learning aspects, which may lead to low self-esteem. This course will dispense the necessary recourses that you need to be able to grasp the condition better. You will be able to detect low self-esteem in dyslexic children and ways to come to their aid. You will understand the various approaches schools take to make learning easier for a child suffering from this disorder. Dyslexia may go undetected for a while unless you, a loved one, or your students have the condition. Moreover, the situation is likely misunderstood because it is seemingly 'invisible'. Many of the difficulties faced by dyslexic children may go unnoticed. Developmental Dyslexia, more commonly referred to as Dyslexia, impairs certain brain functions, leading to abnormal language processing. This makes learning cumbersome since children with Dyslexia cannot write, read, spell, or speak as typical children do. It must be noted that this condition does not impact a child's intelligence. This course commences with an introductory insight into Dyslexia, its effects on children ill with the disorder, and the possible causes behind it. This course also touches on Specific Learning difficulties or SpLD and how children with the disease are likely to suffer from other conditions. These possible SpLDs are elucidated along with tips on detecting and caring for children ill with these disorders. Not only will this course on Dyslexia strengthen your understanding of a dyslexic child's mentality and prepare you with strategies and tools to cater to the child's emotional needs, helping them realise that they are worthy of achieving great things in life.
