Offshore Marine Academy (OMA) has unveiled a brand new course for 2015 tailored to address the knowledge and skills gap in subsea power cable operations.
OMA’s ‘Understanding Subsea Power Cables’ course, which launched earlier this month, will ensure personnel are trained in the use of subsea power cables as well as understand the problems and faults that can occur.
It has been developed in partnership with OMA’s sister company, Offshore Marine Management, as well as other offshore contractors who have many years of experience in subsea cable operations across the offshore renewables, telecoms and oil and gas industries.
Refined from a similar course previously provided by OMA in South America, the ‘Understanding Subsea Power Cables’ course has been tailored to reflect specific requirements from clients spanning the Americas, the Middle East and Europe – ensuring it appeals the global offshore energy industry.
The courses content now focuses on historical developments of subsea power cables, installation techniques, through to operations and maintenance and legal and environmental considerations.
The ‘Understanding Subsea Power Cables’ course runs over a number of days and can be delivered onsite or at an organisations’ offices by experienced industry trainers with first-hand knowledge of the offshore energy sector.
