Add Energy delivers specialist maintenance training to global energy companies in West Africa
Industry experts from international consultancy, service, software and training company, Add Energy have recently completed a series of in-depth, blended training courses – M100 Field Maintenance and M200 Maintenance Management – for two multinational energy companies located in West Africa, strengthening its commitment to upskilling and developing workforces across the globe
The industry-leading training courses facilitated by the Add Energy Academy enhance the skills and expertise of maintenance staff. With both online and in-person elements to learning facilitation, the programs encompass a comprehensive curriculum customized to the needs of the candidates. Add Energy tailors the course material and format to suit the specific needs of each client to ensure that the content is both relevant and up-to-date with the latest industry developments.
Mike Meen, Add Energy’s Academy Director states, “The courses are designed to be highly interactive and engaging for candidates. We have received feedback from previous clients that the courses were enjoyable, interesting and most importantly actionable in their day to day operations – remembered long after the course is delivered. We are happy to provide organizations with an upskilled, motivated workforce. It’s quite different from other courses that they may have attended in the past.”
Both courses are similar in structure with twelve weeks to complete eight online assignments followed by a one week on-site face to face event. Delivering the face to face event at the client’s location results in more cost-effective learning. The clients also benefitted from a return to work project where they could implement their learnings.

Online work had been completed to a very high standard, and we had 3 highly interactive weeks of presentations, candidate teach-backs and teams doing syndicate work. Candidate involvement was high throughout. Having a mix of new and experienced candidates greatly benefited the learning for all involved. It was a pleasure to deliver the courses.”
