Teaching Experience

As part of my job in SIS, I have instructed several commercial courses to teach

technical simulation software in the oil industry. The courses vary from one day

to 5 days long. The agenda of the courses in general is to review the concepts

that the software works in brief and demonstrate the main features of the

software. Here you can see the list of instructed courses and the audience:
