I just spoke with SAIT's Distance Learning Centre. Many of these courses are available worldwide by correspondence without prerequisites. They only require that the courses be taken in order, e.g. Process Piping 1 be taken before Process Piping 2A. Apparently they have a couple of students studying from the Cayman Islands at the moment. Anyone on this forum? Where do I sign up for a job? Get away from this cold weather.

We do have some stuff like that on the main page, although maybe it
should be grouped or labeled as stuff for freshers. There's no real
reason to believe that that your average please-tell- me-a-web- page-
that-will-explain- everything- about-piping fresher will actually read
it, but it's worth a try. Looks to me like we ought to have links
generally on the following
Glossary of piping terms
Tables of pipe and fitting dimensions (maybe bolt ing and sheet metal
gauges)
Materials data
Technical societies
Books
Manufacturers
Software
And we make it a practice to generally reject the explain-me-all-
about-piping posts with a note to check the web site, read everything
and get back to us with any specific questions.
I wonder if Paul could score some ads from schools that teach piping.
That might do everyone some good.
