Electrical

The Electrical Academy offers comprehensive learning solutions in the areas of Electrical Engineering that can be specifically tailored to clients’ needs. As a Centre of Competency Development and Certification, we are committed to deliver the best training experience to our clients.

Our academy is well-equipped with up-to-date equipment specialising in oil and gas industries to simulate real-life working situations.

We offer a wide range of electrical training programmes, from fundamental principles of electrical engineering to high-level programmes which focus on operation and maintenance of electrical equipment.

In collaboration with renowned certifying bodies, we also offer competency and certification-based courses, such as competency of personnel working in hazardous area and Chargeman certification, certified by IECEx and Energy Commission, respectively.

In 2016, we have been conferred by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as a Recognised Training Provider (RTP) for IECEx approved programmes. We are the first among the users and also the first training institution in Malaysia to obtain the RTP status.
