Objectives
- This 5-day course gives the participants a thorough understanding of code rules. The participants would know the systematic approach for adopting and applying the Code rules for several configurations and services.
- During the course typical code stipulations will be reviewed and discussed collectively with the participants so as to address the difficulties and ambiguities they might have encountered in the code use, including a discussion on the misconceptions and pitfalls during the adoption of the code.
