BRE’s always putting out the best training classes. I still feel great learning the materials, even though I have taken these classes before. Dr. Krouskop is the best instructor! Thank you, BRE!

This course was very informative. I learned more about the underlying processes and reactions with amine in two days training than I have in 10 years operating an amine system.

BRE 231 was a great refresher on overall theory related to amine sweetening/absorption and helpful in gaining an in depth understanding of operating parameters and sensitivities based on operating goals. This course was also very informative on modeling strategies for amine natural gas plants.

Very interesting course. Pace was upbeat and good natured. No dull moments! Topics were explained in depth enough for good understanding without making it too convoluted.

I really enjoyed this course. Instructors, Jared and Peter, were phenomenal! Their enthusiasm kept my attention the entire time.

Great course that looks at multiple setups and teaches great tools to incorporate into any simulation.

The best training I’ve attended in over 12 years in various industries. It is also very reassuring that there will be so much support available after the training as well.

Overall, this class was awesome. It was really nice to have someone sit down and walk through the basics of the program. Having just got out of college and using a different program in school; it felt daunting to learn a new software, but this was class was made simple and understandable by Jason. I feel very confident in my ability to figure out this software for whatever I need, and I know I can always reach out to support if they personally can’t figure it out.

The training has been excellent – top tier external engagement. Justin and Peter are great teachers and have been very helpful in learning the basics of ProMax. I have wanted to learn this software for a while now and finally feel equipped to unleash its power! The course was a good balance of content, paced appropriately, and provided the right amount of challenge for an engineer with some modelling/industry experience.

Stacy and Eric did a great job on the BRE 101 course. I appreciated their emphasis on how open and available BR&E is for supporting their customers. I also like the 2-instructor model where one instructor is able to move through the course content with the larger group while another instructor is able to help individuals who are falling behind. Instructors were also very knowledgeable in general process engineering along with the software knowledge.

Love how these ProMax classes, especially the upper level classes, teach not only the software but also the process behind it. The training manuals are as good as gold. Great teaching, it is nice that the class teachers are also happy and excited to be here.

Another great course with perfect balance between learning specific features of the software, and applying them to relevant models of established and emerging unit operations.

Training is always fabulous and non-threatening. Questions are always welcome and explained.

The 101 class was extremely helpful as a introduction to ProMax and its capabilities. The instructors took their time and ensured that everyone was on the correct path. They were exceptional.

Ashis, Dom, and Zack were friendly and easy to follow when I had questions or comments, they were quick to answer and help me understand what the issue was.

The presenting team did AMAZING! Although the team was young, they were incredibly knowledgeable and professional. They were also very patient and helpful when we had questions and issues with the software. They took the time to properly define and explain how things work and why things work, which I find incredibly more helpful and useful in trainings.

I like how detailed and thorough ProMax is with the setup and the amount of info it gives back. The customer service team behind ProMax is amazing! The class made me feel more comfortable and was very informative.

This class was an awesome intro to using ProMax. Very clear, informative, full of tips and tricks to make the entire ProMax user experience enjoyable and easy.

A good intro course that describes the basics of ProMax with enough information to go out and simulate on your own. I would come back for a higher level training course on other processes.

Stacy Dieffenbach is awesome! It is so easy to follow her explanations. She is thorough, patient and is very knowledgeable on all associated subject matter. Her charisma and sense of humor are icing on the cake. I learned a ton and honestly enjoyed it very much.

I’ve been throughly impressed with ProMax and its user friendliness. ProMax also predicts performance of Sulphur blocks really well. Most importantly, I love how they are not just a software company, but a consultancy firm as well. Their technical support and training have been top notch. From helping us to build entire models of facilities to sharing their invaluable experience, you can definitely rely on them. And all these are provided at no extra cost to us!

The trainer’s help definitely kept the class moving forward, providing individual attention as needed. I look forward to taking additional courses.

BR&E has an extremely knowledgeable staff with interpersonal skills that are hard to come by. Excellent presenters at the course.

This has been an excellent class for me as someone who has never used ProMax before. Of the dozen courses I have taken in my Facilities Engineer career, I would rate this towards the top. I enjoyed practicing on relevant examples, using sample files, and the openness of the instructors throughout the course. The instructors were very good at clearly and intuitively explaining the topics and concepts.

The BRE 201 Gas Processing was a great course with great instructors. I would highly recommend this course.

The LNG course was excellent and the presentation and presenters were great. The course was challenging in a good way, delivering knowledge and training at an advanced level. The presenter’s know-how was evident, and increased the value gained from the course.

Excellent learning exercises. Thanks to BR&E for providing opportunities to learn and understand ProMax simulation software in this difficult economic time.

Your one-on-one guidance makes the course very productive particularly for the less experienced. I started as a infrequent user, but am now very confident of handling complex projects.

This course was well worth my time. As a new engineer, I found the software more user-friendly than expected, and every time someone in class identified an area for improvement, it seemed the fix was coming out already. The examples were useful and accompanied by sufficient explanation to learn about ProMax, even where the concepts were something I don’t usually encounter at work.

Class moved quickly and covered a lot of material. The speed of the course was ideal to cover the maximum amount of material while making sure the class didn’t consume too many working days. The instructors were excellent and very helpful.

The course [Level 2: Gas Processing] was very helpful and informative. BR&E customer service never disappoints.

I appreciate the course instructor. Not only did he go over how to use ProMax, but he went over the Engineering aspect which was a good refresher. I would recommend this course to my colleagues.

This is the most user friendly process simulator I have been exposed to and also your team does a top notch job at helping people learn to use it.

Upon completion of this course, I feel confident with the program. Instructors were fantastic. This is easily the best training I’ve ever been to!

We hosted the BR&E ProMax Level 1 training class last week in Baton Rouge. I have been to several of your training classes hosted by Cory in the past. I had a great appreciation for Cory, as did many of my colleagues. We were doubtful that anyone could fill his boots so to speak. However, everyone in our group was thoroughly impressed with Zach and Stacy. They did a wonderful job of conducting the course. They also did a great job of handling some rather difficult questions, and they followed those questions up with research and one-on-one discussion during breaks. It was a good learning experience, even for those of us with years of ProMax modeling in the natural gas industry.

I would say that BR&E has the best training and customer technical support available in the simulation industry. Your team is always a pleasure to work with and extremely knowledgeable. These two certainly represented your company very well in my opinion.

The highlight of this professional hands-on training was having knowledgeable, efficient instructors and assistants available. The exercises are well-designed and enriched with information that makes the training very useful.
