Recognizing the ever increasing need for a skilled, certified lobour force in western Canada, FSCL is expanding to provide H2S Alive training in Fort McMurray, Alberta. We are in the process of finalizing course dates for this area and expect to be adding Fort McMurray to our training schedule, with courses each month, beginning in May 2007. Please check our training page often, for ongoing schedule updates.

FSCL has researched extensively to see if any organization offers the ENFORM H2S Alive course in Montreal or anywhere in Quebec. The ENFORM H2S Alive course has become a pre-requisite in the oil and gas industry and over 100,000 people are trained every year throughout Canada. The demand has increased steadily over the last few years. FSCL last year (2006) took this course on the road in Atlantic Canada as well as the ENFORM Detection and Control of Flammable Substances which reinforced the demand requirements. Many of our students heading to Western Canada for work or in Atlantic Canada received the required training for employment well in advance so they were ready to go to work.
We presently have put the week of February 19 to 23, 2007 aside to travel to Montreal to provide the ENFORM H2S Alive and Detection and Control of Flammable Substances courses in Montreal.
The schedule is as follows:
Monday, February 19, 2007 - H2S Alive
Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - H2S Alive
Wednesday, February 21, 2007 - H2S Alive
Thursday, February 22, 2007 - H2S Alive
Friday, February 23, 2007 - Detection and Control of Flammable Substances
More information on these courses can be found here.
Should enough people be interested in these dates by February 9, 2007 we plan on providing these courses in Montreal.
Please contact us by e-mail (booking@fscl.ca) or phone (1-902-858-3220) to express your interest in attending.

Frank Simmons Consulting Limited
(FSCL) and the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) have teamed up to deliver
online oil and gas training for ExxonMobil’s recently completed South
Venture Platform. The training program consists of 10 technical subject modules,
including Power Generation and Distribution and Produced Water Treatment. It
aims to familiarize ExxonMobil’s offshore staff with the new South Venture
platform, in part via Flash animation and platform images. Each student will
complete a competence assessment about the platform operations. NSCC Online
Learning will work with FSCL’s curriculum to develop this online training
approach. “FSCL’s curriculum and practices in the industry are reputable,
due to their level of quality and commitment to service,” says Steve Foran,
director of NSCC’s energy group. “This project focuses on making
quality learning accessible based on the needs and schedules of the learner.”
The work for ExxonMobil’s South Venture project will wrap up early this
fall.
