Overview
GE Oil & Gas provides a comprehensive portfolio of training courses on a wide range of products. These courses can be conducted at the customer's site or in Florence at our Florence Learning Center facility. Located next to GE Oil & Gas headquarters in Florence, Italy , the Technical Training Department offers courses to all customers. Our 5,600 square meter facility has more than 20 training rooms, a conference center, multimedia rooms, classrooms equipped with Speedtronic Mark V and Mark VI control panels, GE Fanuc 90/70 PLCs, Bently Nevada simulators and laboratories for hands-on sessions. All the rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art presentation equipment suitable for any type of course, seminar, or meeting. Our instructors are field-seasoned experts who combine an understanding of theory with practical experience. The high quality training that they provide is a prerequisite for improving the skills of operation and maintenance personnel to assure safety and superior equipment availability. Training courses delivered at the Florence Learning Center offer formal classroom lectures with the added advantage of being able to visit the manufacturing plant, where trainees have the opportunity to become familiar with machining, assembly and testing operations while they are actually being performed. In addition, the Florence Learning Center features numerous scale models and cut-outs of current machines that help students visualize concepts during learning activities. We offer courses both on a single company basis, as well as to groups from multiple companies. Our training programs include: 1. Customized Training - tailored to customer needs and equipment; at either the Florence Learning Center or the customers site; in multiple languages. 2. C.O.R.E. - "Certified Operator for Rotating Equipment"; a certification program for control room operators. 3. Multi-Customer Training - trainees from various companies; at the Florence Learning Center; in English; available for many products; pre-scheduled. 4. Computer-Based Training - Centrifugal Compressor Fundamentals.

Training Worldwide Closer to you

With the aim of better satisfying customer needs, GE Oil & Gas has created Training Centers worldwide based on the model of the Florence Learning Center. The first was the Sonatrach Training Center in Hassi RMel, Algeria (opened in June 2000) followed by the Petrobras Training Center in Maca, Brazil (opened in July 2002) and Atlantic LNG in Trinidad & Tobago (opened in May 2007). In September 2004 the first GE Regional Training Center was inaugurated in Port Harcourt Nigeria. In this Training Center, we provide technical information, training and assistance for customers in Nigeria and the surrounding region. It is the first GE facility of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. Construction has recently been completed on a new, fourstory building located in the industrial zone of Port Harcourt City, Rivers State, Nigeria. The Center includes two fully equipped classrooms for mechanical training sessions, a gas turbine control panel simulator, Bently Nevada vibration training equipment and other instructional materials such as machined cut-outs showing component parts and displays designed to instruct trainees on the operational features of GE equipment for oil and gas applications. The Center offers customized training as well as standard training packages for GE equipment for operation and maintenance personnel, and leadership and management courses. Through the new Centers, we are developing learning environments that provide information on technologies of interest to our customers. One of the key objectives is to increase GEs impact and the value that it adds by creating local resources to deliver technical information and assistance to our customers. Development of other GE Oil & Gas Training Centers in strategic regions is underway.

Customized Training

The courses are designed to meet the specific needs of the customer and are developed using the actual designs and documentation prepared for the relevant customer units. Instruction is available either at the customers site or at the Florence Learning Center and may be scheduled for the convenience of the customer. The course duration is tailored to the course material and the background of the trainees. To ensure the best possible learning experience for the individual, the class size is limited to 15 trainees. Courses and related documentation are available in several languages

And others upon customer request.

C.O.R.E.
Certified Operator for Rotating Equipment
The Certified Operator for Rotating Equipment program was launched in 2008 and certifies the customers ability to manage a specific installation containing GE rotating equipment. Unlike routine activities with courses oriented to single machines, this new C.O.R.E. training approach certifies the ability of the customers operators from a comprehensive plant operation point of view. The training program includes exercises, simulations and finally an individual exam administered by a GE senior examiner. This site-specific certification gives operators the highest level of preparation and proficiency on the plant they have to operate daily.

Multi-Customer Training Mechanical Programs

Who should attend
These courses are designed for plant personnel that have a basic knowledge of GE products and who would like to gain more specific knowledge of operation and maintenance features and auxiliary systems.

Goals
These courses aim to improve a trained work force by providing a more complete vision of GE products and related auxiliaries. Every effort is made to present course material in terms that trainees can readily absorb and apply to their jobs.
