The paper will present experience from performing nuclear technology courses at Nuclear Training Centre Ljubljana. There are two types of important courses, which we conduct for NPP Krško staff and other organizations, dealing with nuclear technology. The first course is called NPP Technology (the abbreviation in Slovenian language is TJE) and is intended for future control room operators. This course is the first, theoretical part of the initial training of licensed operators (later stages – NPP systems and simulator training – take place at the NPP). Approximately 5 months are devoted to different topics, such as nuclear and reactor physics, thermal-hydraulics and heat transfer, radiation protection, electrical engineering, materials and nuclear safety. The second course, Basic of Nuclear Technology (in Slovenian OTJE) is suitable for other NPP technical personnel, for technical support organizations, regulatory body, etc. This course consists of two parts: theory (4 weeks) and NPP Systems (4 weeks). The paper will describe the content of courses in more detail, and the results, feedback and other experience from conducting these courses, which helps us to constantly improve the quality of courses.
