From training the industry for over 20 years, we have an in-depth understanding of how to maximise the effectiveness of training.

We pride ourselves on providing a superior learning experience with engaging content and interactive deliveries, supported by our specialist instructional design team, operations team and tutors.

Up-to-date technical contentEvery course is co-developed with engineering subject matter experts (SMEs). Incorporating new developments and lessons learned as well as delegate feedback, our content is up-to-date and in line with the latest industry best practice, codes and standards.

Designed to maximise knowledge retention Our instructional design team uses learning theory and cognitive science to develop courses that activate the memory and enhance knowledge retention and application.

We organise information in easy to digest chunks and test retention using a number of different tools. Carefully structured and presented, key areas are revisited through a variety of methods such as case studies, exercises and worked examples. By forcing the retrieval process repeatedly, the learners ability to retain, retrieve and apply key information is enhanced.

Engaging learning experienceFacilitated by a tutor (read about our tutors experience on pages 37 and 38) who specialises in the field, our sessions are content-rich and engaging. Mixing theory and practical learning through case studies, group work and exercises, we use polling systems to instantly gauge the class understanding, ensuring no one is left behind. A number of our courses also include site visits* so the learner can see equipment first-hand.

Learners will receive a copy of our world-renowned training notes in hard copy and via our Jeenius app and a certificate in recognition of study hours attained.

Whats on offer?Flexible training courses to suit your needs

Whatever your budget, team size or location we can create a solution for your unique requirements.

Breadth and depth

It is important to establish the right level of knowledge for your training based on your learning objectives. We categorise our courses into three levels; introduction, technical awareness and advanced.

Introduction: Ideal for graduate engineers and anyone new to the industry or subsea, these courses give an introduction to the subject area.

Technical awareness: Providing a broad overview, these courses are ideal for those who require a foundation of technical knowledge of the subject matter.

Advanced: Developing advanced engineering skills and understanding, these courses are more in-depth and technical. We recommend some knowledge of the topic before attending these courses, although this is not essential.

You can take them in any order e.g. advanced, introduction then technical awareness, depending on the breadth and depth of knowledge you require in that particular area.

Location

Course type

Standard courseWith a portfolio of 22 courses spanning the whole life-of-field, we offer a broad choice of subsea topics.

Customised courseWe understand that our standard courses may not completely meet your specific training or project requirements. Thats why we give you the option to choose modules from any of our standard courses to make your own customised course. We can remove modules which may not be relevant and include others that better fit your requirements.

Bespoke courseWe can also create completely bespoke courses that reflect your companys objectives and build competencies in specific disciplines. We can incorporate presentations from your SMEs and include content on company specific procedures, assets, vessels, technologies, equipment and codes.

Options

Often the knowledge acquired during a course is strong at first, but after a while it is natural for some of the detail to dissipate and be forgotten. To minimise scrap learning, it is essential to be exposed to the content regularly.

Our options provide delegates with a deeper, richer and more motivating learning experience. Traditional training is enriched by using virtual tools to enhance engagement and collaboration.

We offer a variety of different packages so you can build the right course for your requirements and budget. From standard classroom courses, to a completely tailored, online approach we can work with you to create the best possible learning experience.

Whichever options you choose, we will ensure a stress-free and well organised training experience from beginning to end. Whether booking yourself onto one course or organising a global course for hundreds, we are here to support you and your team.

Case study: Franois BaptisteMy learning experience with Jee

BackgroundIn my current role as Country Coordinator for Genesis Oil and Gas and Technip USA Inc. in Trinidad and Tobago, I am responsible for managing and assisting on all activities for the Trinidad office relating to on-going projects, day-to-day operations, and supporting on-going business development activities.

Having worked in the oil and gas sector for more than 18 years, and with my current role involving operations across a number of business streams and divisions, I need to be up to speed with the ever-changing and developing industry, and have a sound and extensive knowledge of the sector to fully understand the projects I help oversee.

Why Jee?I was researching potential offshore and subsea certification related courses in oil and gas operations, and a colleague recommended Jees online course. He had completed one himself, and sent two of his junior engineers to the classroom sessions held in Houston on Design of subsea pipelines.

Following his suggestion, I signed up and completed my first online course with Jee, Construction of subsea pipelines. Due to the professionalism, learning process and ease of my experience, I have completed a further two, Risers, umbilicals and flexibles and Design of subsea pipelines, and am currently studying Subsea systems and Advanced design including HP/HT and deepwater pipelines.

The standard of teaching and learning process employed by the Jee training team made my experience extremely enjoyable, informative and beneficial, not only for my current work, but also my future career.

Living in Trinidad and Tobago proved an issue when trying to access oil and gas related courses, as most are held in other countries, mainly oil and gas hubs such as Aberdeen, London or Houston. Travelling to these destinations for face-to-face classroom teaching is not only incredibly costly, but would also require extensive time out of the office, away from my roles and responsibilities.

The convenience of being able to access the wealth of resources Jee provides through the courses from the comfort of my own desk, at home or in the office, has been one of the reasons I have participated in multiple Jee online courses. A further benefit of the courses is that the content is written by experienced engineers within the industry, and is therefore current and relevant to the projects I help oversee.

The delivery of the material is also simple and very effective. It allows me to work and learn at my own pace, and I am able to fit the courses around my schedule - as opposed to the other way round. This level of flexibility is incredibly convenient, as it allows me to continue working in the office whilst gaining qualifications and in-depth knowledge.

Alongside the engineer-led tutorials, I also found the online forums very useful as a means of both discussing the content with other participants, and connecting with other professionals all over the world.

What I took awayWhile I may have had significant experience via my job and previous positions, Jees courses provide me with a structured way of combining experience with sound educational learning.

Training is essential in my organisation due to the nature of operations and the environment in which we operate, with the ever changing solutions and new technologies being developed daily. Genesis Oil and Gas and Technip USA Inc. prides itself in maintaining a knowledgeable workforce and recognises that in order to do that, investing in its employees though training is essential.

Jees online courses have provided a solid foundation for me to build upon in the key industry areas I am involved with as part of my responsibilities.
