GovernanceAberdeen Skills and Enterprise Training Ltd (ASET) trading as ASET International Oil & Gas Training Academy is a wholly-owned subsidiary company of North East Scotland College (NESCol), formerly Aberdeen College. ASET specialises in the provision of education and training in the oil and gas industries in Process, Maintenance Engineering, Hazardous Areas, Emergency Response and Marine, which includes DP and Stability. ASET remits all revenue surplus to North East Scotland College (NESCol) and does not retain any cash or profit.

The relationship between the Board of Management of NESCol and ASET is governed by a Memorandum of Understanding.

The Board of Directors of ASET consists of five Directors, the majority of whom, including the Chairman, must be members of the College Board of Management. The Chief Executive of ASET is also an Executive Director on the ASET Board.

History Aberdeen Skills & Enterprise Training was incorporated as a Private Limited Company and registered at Companies House in April 1993.

Since its inception, ASET has been delivering competence based training. The company developed the first dedicated Hazardous Area Training Centre in the world (1991) and is still the world leader in this provision. The Marine Department Centre was the first Nautical Institute Dynamic Positioning Approved Centre anywhere in the world (1984) and is the only training centre recognized by the International Association of Drilling contractors for Stability and Semi-Submersible and Jack-Up training (1987).

Following negotiations, the then Aberdeen College and ASET acquired the Shell Operations training facility in February 2000, together with the training equipment. Since then ASET has delivered Production and Maintenance training to the majority of the world leading oil majors and contractors.

ASET has developed and grown significantly, in particular over the past four years. On 7th March 2012 ASET held the official opening of its new International Oil & Gas Training Academy, which is arguably one of the finest training facilities for Oil and Gas Technicians anywhere in the world.

ASET Instructors ASET training instructors have vast work experience, the majority coming from both upstream and downstream oil and gas industries. Related industry experience ranges from Oil & Gas Technicians, Control Room Operators and Offshore Installation Managers. Instructors knowledge and experience increases the quality and credibility of training delivered by the ASET International Oil and Gas Training Academy.

OGTAP Modern Apprenticeship SchemeFor over 20 years North East Scotland College (formerly Aberdeen College) and ASET have delivered the oil and gas industry Modern Apprenticeship Scheme on behalf of the Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organisation (OPITO).

ASET offer a wide range of Competence based training and assessment programmes to meet the North Sea, UK Continental Shelf and Overseas Oil and Gas markets. This includes SVQ/NVQ Oil and Gas Technician Training Programmes and over 60 ASET short technical courses which can be customized and tailored specifically to meet individual Client needs.

City & Guilds Credit Rated and Levelled CoursesASET’s exclusive range of City & Guilds credit rated and levelled Oil and Gas short courses allow delegates attending these courses the opportunity to demonstrate their ongoing professional development. This exclusive range of courses are not only recognised within the SCQF framework but also provide the building blocks to enhance existing qualifications and provide a road map to further modes of study.

The advantages of having a qualification placed in the SCQF are that learners, employers, receiving institutions, awarding bodies, Sector Skills Councils and standard setting organisations (SSOs) etc can see the level of skills being developed by the learner or employee and how the qualification relates to other qualifications and learning programmes in Scotland and other credit frameworks in the United Kingdom and Europe. It can also help when selecting relevant training options and identifying development paths and progression routes.

The SCQF uses two measures to describe qualifications and learning programmes: ‘level’ and ‘credit’. The term ‘credit rating’ encompasses both the allocation of SCQF level and the calculation of SCQF credit points.

Qualifications can be added to the SCQF provided they meet the following criteria from the SCQF Partnership:

• They must be outcome-based, ie must contain statements of knowledge, skills, values or competence that are capable of being measured at the end of a process of learning (based on learning outcomes)

• They should be capable of being assessed, ie there must be a robust, effective system of assessing that the outcomes have been achieved (These outcomes must be recorded.)

• They are subject to external quality assurance, ie must have a documented process of external quality assurance for the assessment of the learning outcomes

• They must consist of a minimum of 10 hours of notional learning time.

City & Guilds Exclusive 9841 Competence Based Short Course PortfolioAll ASET courses are based on competence based training and assessment. Courses are designed to ensure delegates gain knowledge, know-how and understanding as well as practical skills during the course guaranteeing employers that learning and skills are directly related to the work environment and job roles within their organization. Courses are governed and verified through our exclusive City & Guilds 9841 quality assurance management and certification.

ECITB Technical Tests ASET offer a range of ECITB Technical Tests for Onshore and Offshore personnel involved in installation, maintenance and inspection of Instrumentation, Electrical & Mechanical technology and Equipment.

Here’s How Technical Tests WorkThe first part of a Technical Test examines the individual’s specific job knowledge. Only once that has been successfully concluded, can the practical task-based part of the test go ahead. This focuses not merely on the technical skill being tested, but on the ability to apply that skill safely and efficiently in the operational environment. The outcome of both parts proves whether the candidate’s current skills and knowledge are up to the job in question.

Technical Tests – The Five Stage Process

Enrolment:An examiner (occupationally competent and specifically trained) enrols the candidate at the ASET ECITB – approved Test Centre to do a specific, named test (or tests) eg ‘Mechanical Joint Integrity - TMJI10 Dismantle, Assemble and Hand Torque Flanged Joints (Dismantle, inspect, prepare, assemble and secure flanged pipework joint)’.

Knowledge Test:On the day, responding to randomly generated, multiple-choice, online questioning, the candidate’s knowledge of this area of work is rapidly and efficiently tested. Depending on the results they either pass on to the Practical Test, or are referred for training.

Practical Test:Candidates undertake a highly specified practical assessment in prescribed stages, under observation. Each part of the task must be completed to the required standard. From tools to timing, from process to protective equipment, the Technical Test allows no room for error.

Feedback:Constructive feedback from the examiner to the candidate is an important part of the Technical Test process.

Certificate Awarded:If successful against the specified criteria ASET will issue an ECITB Certificate of Achievement, validating for three years the candidates knowledge, skill and ability to perform the task in question.

Range of Technical Tests

• Electrical Installation – Technical Tests• Electrical Maintenance – Technical Tests• Instrument & Control – Technical Tests• Mechanical Fitting – Technical Tests• Mechanical Maintenance – Technical Tests• MJI – Technical Tests• Small Bore Tubing – Technical Tests• Process Isolations – Technical Tests.

How to book?To discuss or book Technical Trade Tests please contact us either by email or telephone and we can arrange Technical Tests at a mutually convenient time for your organisation and ASET.

SCAFFOLDING TRAINING

Construction Industry Scaffolders’ Record Scheme (CISRS)ASET International Oil and Gas Training Academy is an accredited training provider of the Construction Industry Scaffolders’ Record Scheme (CISRS). It is managed by employer and employee representatives who collectively set and agree the minimum standards of training and performance that an individual requires to qualify as a scaffolder.

The Record Scheme ensures that operatives are trained to prescribed levels before they can work unsupervised. It also ensures operatives are paid at the appropriate rate.

The Record Scheme for scaffolders is aligned with Vocational Qualifications. All trainee scaffolders need to achieve Level 2 before a Scaffolding Card can be issued, and Level 3 before an Advanced Card can be issued.

The Part 1 and Part 2 courses have been revised in recent years to allow a natural progression to achieve the full NVQ/SVQ.

For more information regarding the scheme please call the CISRS helpline on 0844 815 7223.

Route to achieving a Scaffolding CardThe route to achieving full scaffolder status is illustrated in the flowchart on the page opposite.

The scheme requires that individuals have six months’ experience as a trainee scaffolder and have held the CISRS COTS card for six months’ before they attend the Part 1 course. They are then required to have a minimum of six months’ experience on site before attending the Part 2 course.

An individual is a trainee scaffolder until they have completed Part 1 and Part 2 courses, completed a Level 2 NVQ/SVQ in Access & Rigging/ CISRS Skills Test and passed CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test.
