About our courses
Subject areas include:

- Risers, umbilicals and flexibles
- FPSOs
- Subsea production systems
Our classroom-based courses are short-duration (3-5 days, with some at 10 days) and delivered as public courses (advertised in advance and participants attend from a number of different companies) and as in-company courses (specifically held for one client, usually at their office).
Our courses are written at two levels. Foundation courses impart knowledge and information, providing breadth and depth to each subject area. Practitioner courses impart knowledge and information at a technical level and include exercises and worked examples (addressing technical areas such as design calculations etc).
