Lloyd’s Register and The Well Academy have further strengthened their collaboration through the signing of a global frame agreement. This agreement provides a mechanism for the two companies to continue working together to deliver to the drilling and well services industry cost effective training solutions across a global network of training centers.
Ivo Nijhuis, Director of The Well Academy, says: “Together we will serve the industry on a global scale with training courses and development programs that enhance competence and confidence on an individual and organizational level.”
In October 2015 both companies first announced their working collaboration which was subsequently followed up in February 2016 with delivery of the first combined Well Control Enhanced Renewal training course. In spite of challenging market conditions both companies continue to invest together in the development of enhanced well control and well intervention learning solutions while also jointly marketing existing training programs to a combined global client base.
Meindert Sturm, VP of Market Development of Lloyd’s Register, says: “This collaboration enables us to provide a wide range of drilling industry courses covering all interactions between People, Systems and Equipment in a classroom, simulator or workshop based training environment that enhances the candidate’s training experience.”
