The Dubai Petroleum Training Centre is the result of a joint agreement between the Government of Dubai oil company, Dubai Petroleum Establishment (DPE), and Petrofac Training, to invest in, and develop, a safety and technical training center in the United Arab Emirates.
Managed and operated by Petrofac Training, a provider of training and consultancy solutions to the international energy industries, the facility is equipped to meet the safety and technical training needs of the energy industries throughout the Middle East, said Petrofac.
With a practical training area of approximately 1,500sqm, the center features training equipment, including a mobile helicopter underwater escape training unit, a mobile confined space training unit, a rigging and lifting frame, and a scaffolding area, said Petrofac. The center also has four fully equipped classrooms, and as a result can deliver a mix of practical and theoretical learning onsite to both external clients and DPE, according to Petrofac.
Walter Thain, vice president of sales and marketing at Petrofac Training, said: Petrofac is delighted to work with DPE to provide this training center in Dubai. The establishment of the center will ensure companies in the Middle East to have access to quality competence-based training, and demonstrates Petrofac Training’s relentless aim to support one of the industry’s most critical challenges in growing, developing and maintaining competent workforces globally.
