IGEM technical training
New gas infrastructure must consistently meet the evolving requirements of UK legislation, and existing infrastructure be correctly maintained. The courses we deliver for the Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers aim to create a workforce that can address both these challenges, by preparing attendees for the exacting nature of working in the energy sector.
Our IGEM technical training courses are built upon the energy and utilities sector standards. The training is designed to ensure that everyone working in these sectors is equipped with the skills and practical abilities needed to deliver their responsibilities safely, competently, and in alignment with the needs of stakeholders and the environment. The varied materials combine presentations, practical activities, working examples, interactive questions, and group discussion.
