- Managers and supervisors can gain knowledge to apply in their work roles so that they can understand current procedures and practices, should their work role not be a fully 'hands-on' role
- Updating of technical skills and Standards from previous learning
- Technicians, Engineers, and Managers will be able to apply current, up-to-date Health & Safety requirements for construction within an Oil & Gas Installation
- All candidates will be made aware of upcoming changes to legislation and standards to correctly plan future activities for construction on an Oil & Gas Installation
- Candidates can progress onto HV courses or full Hazardous area Installation and Maintenance courses
Personal Impact
- Delegates will be able to learn new practices to construct Oil & Gas Electrical Installations correctly and safely
- Delegates will be able to refresh their knowledge and also add additional skills to their current knowledge base
- Delegates will be able to progress onto a design course (should they wish)
- Delegates will be able to apply current, up-to-date technical requirements into their work roles
- Delegates will be able to develop skills (both theoretical understanding and practice application) to their work role (such as electrical, Instrumentation, etc.)
