Hands-on Trainers for Process Operations and Control
Realistic, Practical Training
Polaris Hands-on Operations Training (HOT) units give new operators the opportunity to learn and practice real-world skills in a safe, yet realistic industrial environment. Students master the critical competencies required to safely operate process equipment.
HOT units are purpose-built to support Process Technology (PTEC) and Basic Operator Training (BOT) requirements using industrial equipment, piping, and instrumentation. Each unit comes with detailed operating manuals, procedures, and structured training exercises.
