Rolls-Royce is investing in a new European customer training centre at Ålesund, Norway. The training centre is due to open in 2011. A wide range of courses will be available covering all maritime sectors, including technical familiarisation with products and specialist training in connection with the hand over of new vessels. It is expected that around 5,000 people will use the centre each year. The centre will also provide training for Rolls-Royce service engineers who work with customers around the world.
“The increased industry focus on health, safety and the environment, and in particular deck safety, is a key driver for research and development across our industry and the centre will focus on courses specific to these areas,” said Anders Almestad, Rolls-Royce President - Offshore and Marine Services. Training programmes for product upgrades, operational expertise and anchor handling operations will also be delivered on site.
The customer training centre will be located in the city of Ålesund, at the heart of Norway’s maritime cluster, and will be adjacent to the Ålesund University College, Offshore Simulator Centre and the Norwegian Maritime Centre of Expertise.
