Training paths                                  ζ©

Our courses offer a clear training path, imparting knowledge and skill at all levels of your career.
Our foundation level courses provide the building blocks to your knowledge and understanding and our professional( practitioner) level course impart skill and a deeper knowledge of engineering principles.


Our courses allow you to follow a defined training path to build your skills and knowledge.




Course Levels
There are two levels of course. Foundation level has the aim of imparting information. Practitioner level has the aim of imparting skills and additional information.

Foundation level
Foundation level courses are designed to impart breadth and depth of information. Each topic is addressed with purely informative content, in plain language, to give a solid understanding of the processes involved and how they fit together. Available courses are:
• Upstream oil and gas industry orientation (1 day)
• Overview of subsea pipelines (3 days)
• Overview of subsea systems  (3 days)
Practitioner level
Practitioner level courses are designed to impart skills and information. Each topic is comprehensively addressed using worked examples, exercises and group discussions. Practitioner level courses give a deeper knowledge and understanding of the engineering principles involved.  Available courses are:
• Design of subsea pipelines (3 days)
• Construction of subsea pipelines (3 days)
Design of subsea pipelines
About the course
You have to understand the engineering principles behind good design to deliver it and this course gives you just that. Gain an in-depth knowledge of the engineering principles and codes that govern the routine design of subsea pipelines.
Duration:  3 days
