programmes for over fifteen years and are fully committed to delivering quality

training. Our dedicated training division, Osborne Training Services (OTS) is

able to draw from a wide range of instructional expertise to supply high quality

theoretical and practical training.

We believe that in order for organisations to evolve

successfully then the continued development

of their staff is essential. In this ever-changing

environment it is the ability of the individuals within

the organisations to learn and develop their skills

that will determine their on going success. For

the learning to be as effective as possible it must

meet with the business objectives of the individual

organisation.

All OTS Courses can be modified to suit individual

customer requirements. OTS can offer a complete

training service firstly communicating with the

customer to establish their needs and then develop

and deliver the course in partnership with customer

requirements. OTS believe in a continuous

improvement process for all of our courses.

Students can evaluate their course on completion

and offer us feedback in all areas. We use this

information to ensure that our standards of

instruction, equipment and presentation are always

ahead of the competition. All our courses are backed

up with high quality training manuals and materials.

Our instructional capability includes experts in

the fields of Gas Turbine Engineering, Machine

Tribology/ Failure Analysis, Rotating Equipment,

Vibration, Alignment, Control and Instrumentation,

Electrical Systems, Management Training and Health

and Safety. All of our highly qualified instructors

have considerable practical experience in the field in

which they teach.

OTS have dedicated facilities in Newcastle, Aberdeen, Poland, Dubai, Abu Dhabi

and more recently in Houston, Texas. Our training programmes have been

developed to include a high degree of practical training, and therefore these

centres have been equipped with a wide variety of practical equipment to

facilitate our core training in:

• PowerGeneration• Mechanical• InstrumentationandControls• Electrical• Management• HealthandSafety

Our Dubai facility also benefits from close proximity

to a major turbine refurbishment workshop to allow

further hands on training and to allow students

to gain more practical experience in Gas Turbine

Maintenance and repair.

Due to the locations of our training centres and

our transportable training equipment we are

able to offer high quality training services to the

UK, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

We also have the ability to conduct our courses at

the customers own facilities should this be more

convenient.

Osborne Training Services provide Open Registration

courses to allow customers to register individual

or small groups of students on one of our training

programmes. These courses are conducted at

our Training Centres in Dubai and the UK and are

designed specifically to meet the requirements of

the Power generation, Oil, Petrochemical and other

industries in today’s market place.

During these Open Registration courses delegates

are actively encouraged to interact with each other

and encouraged to discuss individual circumstances,

allowing the tutor to meet not only the needs of

the group as a whole but to address individual

requirements. For this reason we limit the

number of attendees on each training course.

Open Registration Programme

Through our substantial experience in the

development and delivery of training courses

Osborne Training Services has the necessary skill

and expertise to design and deliver a wide variety

of technical courses on a huge range of equipment

and systems. We therefore offer a service to our

customers to provide a training course on most

technical subjects or systems. This means that

OTS, using their vast course design experience, can

develop a programme to suit a particular system,

machine or application and provide the customer

with the ownership of any training material

produced.

This course has been developed in conjunction with Newcastle College and by doing so it has attracted City and Guilds accreditation. The aim of this course is to provide engineers/technician, and new entrants to the Power Generation/Oil & Gas sectors, the core skills to enable them to make an immediate impact within these essential industries. Our course will equip students with the necessary technical knowledge and competence such that on completion they will have a clear understanding of the methods of Power Generation and possess key skills that can be used within this field. During the course the delivery of knowledge and theory will be backed up with sound practical skills ensuring a solid understanding of all the information gained.

This course has been designed to ensure that students gain the maximum knowledge and that this will increase their effectiveness and understanding for their current, or any prospective future, employer. During the course students will become familiar with a wide and diverse range of equipment across the array of trades and disciplines within this sector.

Throughout the course a focus on health and safety in the workplace will be emphasised to ensure that students adopt the same safe practice within industry employment as they do on the course. In addition to this the student will be able to identify the roles and responsibilities of the personnel

operating within a Power Plant, demonstrate an understanding of the design and operation of a Power Plant and competently undertake diagnostic checks and fault diagnosis.

Students will benefit from a continuous assessment methodology whilst also producing a portfolio of work. This portfolio will be marked and graded by City and Guilds in conjunction with tutors from Newcastle College. This ensures that students gain a highly regarded and credible qualification at the end of the course from a respected training provider. This balance of academic and industrial training will ensure that the delegates can work effectively in a wide variety of roles within this continually expanding industry.

Students are encouraged to contact OTS at any time post course to seek assistance with any further training, support or aid in developing additional skills that may be applicable to the Oil, Gas and Power Generation Industry.
