How much is the macbook pro and where is the location. Also if you have a phone number that will be great also.

ojcode247: Thanks for the question.

Yes, there will be theory teachings, that's why the training is for 3 weeks, typically 8am to 5pm everyday with a one hour lunch break, lunch would be provided. It is pointless for you to know how to use a software without understanding the algorithm behind the applications. We would cover areas like types of risers and mooring line configurations, different types of floating platforms currently being used in offshore exploration and production (FPSO, semisubmersible, spar, top tensioned platform, etc), and then the equations behind the analysis like morrisons equation, navier stokes equation and then metocean data like the Jonswap and stokes 5th.

We would do a lot of classroom work, courseworks, group projects, software practise and assessment tests. The best trainee with the highest scores by the end of the training would be retained and offered a job with us, with good entry-level pay and some benefits (after a 6 month probation period).

So in summary, the 3 weeks would not only be to practise the orcaflex software but to properly understand the rudimentary theory behind the application.

I hope this answers your question.

Please @ojcode247 when you say 3 weeks, is it 3 full weeks i.e..e(Mondays - Saturdays) or 3 weekends i.e.(Saturday and Sunday). Am asking because you said 3 weeks 8am to 5pm everyday and if that is the case we that are working won't be able to attend the course so please explain so i can be clear on this issue. thank you very much

@ojcode247 let me commend you the way you attend to everyone's issues explicitly it is really cool. My email is cemekaobi@gmail.com . Then my next question is learning oracflex is not the issue but learning the principles of the design is the issue e.g it will be quite simple to perform an anlysis for a stinger or a riser with the software but if we don't know the principles the software will be teaching us and thats not what the case is suppose to be so my question is will there be theory teaching so we can know the basics of the design and be able to really understand the output of the software and know what to look for so incase the software is down I can manually calculate what I want with a spreadsheet. Thank you sir.

@ojcode247 if I understand we will be able to train with the actual software and it will be installed on our PC's so we can also use it after the training.

[quote author=ojcode247]Thanks a lot cemeka and hm1222 for your response. We are currently in the process of doing all the paper work, necessary accreditation and logistics for this training program.

We are currently based in Glasgow, UK and we are a Nigerian company made up of Nigerian UK and US trained engineers, most of us with PhDs and years of oil and gas experience.

Hopefully we are looking at doing our first training before the end of the first quarter of next year, so maybe by April 2014. The advert for the training will be in newspapers and relevant Nigerian online job boards.


Do you have a number or email add that I can use to contact you for further questions and I believe people will like to know the cost of the course and also will also want to know if there is a prerequisite for the course. Thank you for your time and hope to here from you ASAP[color=#006600][/color]

@ojcode247 Its a good idea and I am really interested in the training and will like to hear from you my email add: cemekaobi@gmail.com. hope to hear from you ASAP
