If you have a specific team that you wish to train at a given time, our trainers can come to your premises, another venue of your choosing, or if you prefer we can provide the training virtually, using our specifically designed software. Our in-house courses are ready to be delivered off-the-shelf, or we can tailor them to your organisation’s particular needs, policies or even installations, to ensure that the right message is communicated to your people. We understand that not all companies operate in the same way, so we can work with you to identify your particular competency needs, then customise courses or even combine multiple courses into a structured curriculum, i.e. to be part of your graduate development programme or your on-going engineering development programme. For more information about our suggested training plans, please see our Development programme. We believe in being flexible and sensitive to specific customer needs. As such, if these cannot be met by existing course content, we would be pleased to adapt or develop courses to suit individual or company needs. For example:
In-house courses, whether delivered at the client's site or virtually, present an opportunity for problem-solving workshop sessions, where specific issues from within the work place can be worked through
Courses can be specifically developed using a range of topic modules, to suit client needs
One-to-one coaching is also available, tailored to suit the needs of the individual
In-house courses can be tailored to include customer specific procedures etc.
These courses have been successfully delivered for many years across all industry sectors including chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, power, pharmaceutical and other process industries.
