ALCOURSE HISTORY
A bit of history about AlCourse origin. There has always been a need to teach aluminium electrolysis theory. In Alusuisse, Peter Entner developed ElyseSem for that purpose in the 90's. This is a picture of the 1998 edition. After ElyseSem, Peter developed AlSem that like ElyseSem was an on-site "course". AlCourse is the recent virtual evolution of it. So recent that Peter is still developing AlCourse app that will contain the course notes right now.
Chemical Engineer with more than thirty five years of experience in research and development in the aluminium industry.
