Maersk Training: Training For The Future
Training for the future
Supporting the workforce of tomorrow’s energy industries
INTRODUCTION
It’s clear that the pace of the Energy Transition is picking up – with the ultimate aim of moving to a lower carbon future. Maersk Training in the UK has a relatively long history of providing training specifically for the renewables sector, marking 10 years since our Newcastle facility became the first in the UK to receive GWO accreditation. We are ready to support the already skilled and experienced oil and gas workforce in the UK to transition effectively, as well as provide the next generation with the necessary training and competencies that will provide not just a solid grounding for their careers, but also keep high skilled jobs in the UK. At the same time, we continue to invest in assets and people to be able to serve the critically important oil & gas industry for many years to come.

WIDE COVERAGE
With 5 training centres across the UK in Aberdeen, Portlethen, Newcastle, Grimsby and Lowestoft, we are able to offer a wide range of training courses - from basic safety through to simulatorbased immersive learning - to all the main markets we serve; Oil & Gas, Wind, Marine Renewables, and Maritime.
INNOVATION IN TRAINING
As a business we've accelerated our digital offering, developing e-learning courses which learners can participate in from home. Virtual delivery of courses has also gained great momentum in the past 2 years, and this is certainly an area of the overall training market that will continue to grow.
Maersk Training were pioneers in the delivery of Mobile Training Facilities for the wind industry, using UK expertise to deliver projects to date in Taiwan and Saudi Arabia, as well as locations in the UK for major wind developers.
Talking with our customers and visiting their work locations also allows us to truly understand your needs and develop new course deliveries to suit. A recent example is our award-winning combined Enhanced First Aid (EFA) and Advanced Rescue (AR) course, designed in conjunction with one of the world’s leading offshore wind farm developers. This course was born from an identified competency gap, resulting in a more effective, safer workforce.
QUALITY TRAINING = COMPETENCE ASSURED
Maersk Training was founded in 1978 following a blowout in the North Sea. A resulting investigation found that people had the right certificates but not the right competencies. Maersk Training was subsequently born and initially trained the various companies within the Maersk Group, before widening its scope to the global market.
We operate across nine international locations, with over 200 instructors worldwide.
CLEAR PURPOSE
Maersk Training’s clear purpose is to improve safety, operational efficiency and overall performance for our customers. And, ultimately, we can help save lives – which makes it a very rewarding business to be part of.
