Whenever I am asked to discuss our competitive advantages at a conference (in under three minutes) I mention our highly-experienced expert faculty, the wide array of topics we cover, and how we use a mix of lecture, case studies, and even simulations to reinforce learning that is constantly being updated by our product development team.
I speak of our global coverage and customer service. We have account executives that can help put together an integrated training solution (instructor-led, customized on sites or in-house, and web-based) that best meets a client's needs as well as competency paths to map out one's full understanding of a subject matter. We also boast an Operations staff that ensures one's learning experience goes without a hitch. Allowed an extra 30 seconds, I highlight that education and training are our core competence and we do not try to sell subscriptions or consulting practices. Something many tell us can be a point of annoyance.
Now if I am ever allowed a full five minutes, I'd throw in how all our introductory and fundamental courses and a good number of intermediate level workshops have an accompanying web-based pres-study module. These are taken prior to the actual course itself, ensuring a solid foundation and common understating by all delegates and therefore a fuller in-class experience. I'd add in our postgraduate diploma programmes in Oil Supply and Trading and Natural Gas. I'd squeeze in a dedication to providing the best energy, commodities and derivatives training anywhere.
My time's up. But if you'd like to find out more, our website is available 24/7 and I, myself, and my capable colleagues, are just an e-mail click away.

Spaces limited. Bestseller COMING TO HOUSTON:
Technical, Commercial and Operational Aspects of Oil Refining
Houston, TX
28-31 July 2008
This intermediate course is designed to provide delegates with a thorough understanding of the technical, commercial and operational aspects of oil refining. Through a combination of presentations and case studies, delegates will learn the principles of refinery operations and planning, the commercial aspects affecting crude selection and operation of the refinery. Throughout the course delegates participate in a refinery simulation whereby they select and purchase optimal crude cargoes, schedule the cargoes into inventory as they simultaneously generate the refinery operations schedule and nominate finished product sales. The refineries are also exposed to the vagaries of the international oil market and are given the opportunity to manage these risks. Click here to register. |

Last month, I had the opportunity to meet delegates at Gasmart 2008 in Chicago. I was excited to hear how many of you thought our training to be state of the art.
As I mentioned previously, I am on special assignment supporting our North American Sales team. As newsletter editor, I want to say THANK YOU to all past delegates who said hello and reminded me of the value of our course offerings.
Haven't experienced one yet? Give me a call at +1.609.524.1159 and either I or any of my colleagues worldwide will be able to assist.

What can delegates look forward to in your new course?
The bunker industry is unique in the sense that it is an essential aspect of the both the oil industry and the shipping industry. The course is an opportunity for delegates from both side of the fence to first understand the complete fuel oil supply chain and then with the knowledge gained critically observe real case studies and discuss the benefits of the implementation of a proactive approach. The course is designed such that delegates will leave with knowledge and skills relevant to the workplace.
How do you like to present your subject matter?
Structured but with an informal atmosphere. The course is extensive so it is important to follow a structure , each session is detailed followed by open discussion which reinforces aspects and builds on previous sessions.
What are your career/professional highlights?
On the merger of Conoco, Phillips and Tosco I was appointed Product Trading Manager and was given the brief to build a new, profitable and dynamic trading team from the legacy groups. Mergers bring together different corporate philosophies which have to be absorbed into one. The highlight for me was after 2-3 years of the merger, managing a successful team of traders, many of whom I had trained, with our own trading ethos and recognised in the marketplace as a world class group.
What are some of the greatest challenges facing the energy sector?
We all read about Climate Change and the need to exploit cleaner , sustainable alternatives . But in the short to medium term the world is still dependent on fossil fuel. With the global population expected to rise from 6 billion to over 9 billion by 2050 energy supply from fossil fuels will be critical. Crude oil reserves remain sufficient, and even at $120 bbl oil is cheaper than bottled water so we need to come to terms with the price .The real problem in the oil supply chain is the bottleneck created by a severe shortage of modern refining capacity. Although a number of new refineries are coming on-stream in the Far East we are close to maximum throughput in a world demanding more and more motor, aviation and ship fuel, heating oil and chemical feedstock.
How do you like to spend your free time?
Most of my spare time is allocated to my studies in MSc Environmental Management, but when the eyes can no longer focus I like to walk the dog in the forest, play tennis or in the summer go sailing.
