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 learnt 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 use 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 learner’s ability to retain, retrieve and apply key information is enhanced.

Engaging learning experienceFacilitated by a tutor (read about our tutors’ experience on page 30) who specialises in the � eld, 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 � rst-hand.

Learners will receive a hard copy of our world-renowned training notes as well as electronic access, and a certi� cate in recognition of study hours attained.

Our cost-effective courses develop your team’s competencies in line with your project requirements and business objectives.

We offer a range of solutions so you can build the right course for your requirements and budget. From standard classroom courses to a bespoke training plan, we will work with you to create programmes that add real value to your organisation.

Flexible delivery optionsIf you have a team of six or more, we can send a tutor to you and deliver a course at your of�ces or a nearby hotel. An in-house course is often more economically advantageous in terms of both travel and time costs. It also allows for training to be tailored towards speci�c projects, assets and challenges that otherwise would not be possible during a public presentation.

If you have a global team based in several locations, gathering everyone at the same time and place for training can be dif�cult and costly. We offer online courses and blended virtual learning programmes to overcome this challenge, enabling you to consistently and simultaneously train your team wherever they are based, without incurring travel costs and time.

Training your teamCost-effective in-house solutions

Bespoke trainingWe work closely with you to understand your learning objectives, develop a detailed course outline and then deliver a targetted presentation. We can also work with your SMEs to incorporate company speci�c information and presentations, resulting in signi�cant added value. From codes and standards to vessel and asset information, we can design a completely bespoke course tailored to your needs.

In brief, we offer:

Jee’s enhanced reference library (ERL) is a ‘just in time’ knowledge transfer tool, allowing engineers to refresh their knowledge quickly through bite sized information.

Drawing on over 20 years’ of accumulated content from Jee’s training courses and over 30 years’ engineering expertise, the ERL is a library of over 200 engineering topics spanning the whole life-of-�eld.

At Jee, we leverage this resource internally and make the library available to our engineers. As consultants we are often asked to look at unusual problems and systems to help our clients, and our engineers sometimes need to refresh their knowledge of niche topics and challenges.

The library reduces bottlenecks with seniors by giving engineers a method of independently �nding the information they require, increasing productivity and reducing the time from an issue emerging to its resolution.

How it worksWith the option to embed into internal systems such as a company intranet, the ERL can be made available company wide or to a select number of staff.

Dependent on client requirements, topics can be arranged by course or discipline and show a brief description of what is covered. An intelligent search function allows users to search titles for relevant content.

Case study: François 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 of�ce 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 certi�cation related courses in oil and gas operations, and a colleague recommended Jee’s 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 �rst 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 �exibles 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 bene�cial, 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 of�ce, 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 of�ce, has been one of the reasons I have participated in multiple Jee online courses. A further bene�t 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 �t the courses around my schedule - as opposed to the other way round. This level of �exibility is incredibly convenient, as it allows me to continue working in the of�ce whilst gaining quali�cations 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 signi�cant experience via my job and previous positions, Jee’s 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.

Jee’s 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.
