A chromatograph that drifts, a method nobody validated, a baseline the analyst learns to ignore — that is how laboratories end up signing data they cannot defend. This programme takes working GC users past the operating manual: the major components and how they interrelate, operating principles, calibration and quantitative methods, set-up procedures and the failure modes of each element. Optimisation of column lengths, carrier flows and temperature programmes is treated with the theory needed to make deliberate choices rather than inherited ones. The cohort works through practical industry and laboratory problems, preventative maintenance routines, and the accessories and consumables decisions that determine instrument uptime.

Programme agenda
Built for the decisions no textbook prepares you for
I.The instrument

- Operating principles: inlets, columns, detectors
- Accessories and consumables required for GC operations
II.Method development and optimisation
- Set-up procedures and calibration methods
- Optimising column lengths, flows and temperatures — with the theory behind each choice
- Qualitative and quantitative techniques
III.Maintenance and troubleshooting
- Preventative maintenance as a routine check, not a rescue
- Failure modes by component, with practical examples
- Changing and installing inject systems and columns
- Structured troubleshooting and analysis methods
IV.Laboratory practice
- Good laboratory practices for accurate, reliable analyses
- Application to practical industry and laboratory problems
- Producing data that stands up to review
Frequently asked
Do the programmes cover the energy transition as well as conventional operations?
Both. The curriculum spans oil and gas operations, drilling project and risk management, ESG, and the global energy transition — including how conventional operators finance and sequence the shift. Participants leave able to weigh transition decisions with the same rigour they apply to an operating asset.
Is project finance for energy and infrastructure covered?
Yes — advanced project finance analysis and modelling, PPP and infrastructure finance, and the financing of oil, gas and mining projects all sit in the curriculum. Participants leave able to build and stress a project-finance model and defend the structure to lenders and boards.
How do we enrol a team on an energy programme?
Send an enquiry or brochure request from the programme page; a senior practitioner responds within one business day with the brochure and the options for your group. Team cohorts are arranged through that proposal — including a private, in-house edition when the whole unit should train together.
Who typically attends the energy and utilities programmes?
Engineers, operations managers, project and commercial leaders, and HSE and finance professionals from oil and gas, power, utilities and mining. Regulators and national companies attend alongside private operators, which sharpens the discussion on both sides.
