TTE training group offers a full package to land Nigeria contract


TTE Technical Training Group has secured a prestigious project to deliver a training programme for the West African energy industry




The TTE Technical Training Group has secured a prestigious project to deliver a training programme for the West African energy industry.


Following a complex tender process, TTE has been selected by Nigeria Liquid Natural Gas Company (NLNG) to provide a comprehensive new entrant process operator programme on Teesside for 28 trainees.


Lasting six months, the new NLNG employees will undertake a technical programme, which includes a cross-section of process, basic engineering, and instrumentation modules. This will include working on simulator rigs that help to replicate real industry scenarios they may have to face.


In addition to the practical training, TTE will also deliver a range of courses in health and safety, and leadership.


Throughout their stay in the UK the group will live in Hartlepool with TTE also providing extra-curricular and social activities for the trainees including the opportunity to experience British culture and places.


An Outward Bound course in the Lake District, Cumbria, will provide a range of experiences outside of the core technical training programme, and involve activities such as orienteering, canoeing and assault courses.


The aim is to help increase the trainees’ cultural awareness, leadership, and team building skills.


Steve Grant, Managing Director of TTE Technical Training Group, said: “This demonstrates how UK expertise is respected on an international scale.


“TTE’s Teesside training facilities are attracting overseas business from world-class companies.


“The contract also further cements the strong relationships that TTE has established with West Africa.


“We have delivered specialist, bespoke training to the region for a number of years and this project highlights our position as a valued training provider for African industry.


Steve added: “Recruiting new entrants and equipping them with core skills are key challenges for operators as they respond to changing industry demands and pre-empt any potential skills shortages.


“Working in partnership with an independent experienced technical training provider allows companies to plan workforce development and future company needs.”
