Careers are made or lost on a plant turnaround: a safe, efficient, on-time, on-budget outage raises a profile, while an incident-prone and inefficient one leaves a corporate black cloud. Team training is now recognised as a critical element of turnaround success, because the procedure prepared in the boardroom is executed in the field by others. This programme takes the turnaround team through its areas of responsibility and their impact on safety, success and efficiency: strategy, governance and key milestones; scope development and optimisation; the planning process; contracting, procurement and materials management; quality; execution; and the post-turnaround review. Two detailed, extensive tasks reinforce the practical implementation throughout.

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.
