About Jee Welcome to our learning and development training guide

Jee, established in 1988, is an independent firm of engineers. We deliver high-calibre pipeline, riser and subsea engineering and training services to the oil and gas industry from our offices in London, Aberdeen and Abu Dhabi.

Our training portfolio is built on the back of our engineering services, where our expertise lies in whole-life solutions for subsea pipelines and risers. We also provide cable engineering services for offshore wind farm projects.

Our courses are taught by our own chartered engineers and technical experts in locations worldwide through public and in-company programmes. Selected courses are also available to complete online.

We invest heavily in our tutors and their training to ensure the benefits of their knowledge and expertise are passed on to you. The quality of our work is accredited to ISO 9001.

We spend 80% of our time working on engineering projects and 20% of our time teaching it, which means delegates benefit by learning directly from the experts.

This brochure showcases our training capabilities, outlining our standard courses as well as detailing how we can tailor training to meet specific needs. You will find information on everything from course delivery to tutor profiles and academic qualifications.

Online distance learning

We offer two methods of learning, face-to-face and online distance learning.

Online distance learning courses have all the benefits of a classroom course but give delegates the flexibility to study when and where they want. Choose a specific start date to fit around projects or personal life, or gain instant access if required. We monitor progress and send update reports to help engineers and managers to keep on track. Plus, our expert tutors are on-hand to provide support, answer questions and give guidance on technical queries.

How it works

Each course takes 12 weeks to complete and delegates should allow for 30-40 hours of learning time. Delegates complete the course at their own pace with support from our tutors via the online tutorial forums. Delegates receive 12 weeks of unlimited access to specialists in the field of subsea engineering.

Our online learning system is easy to use and interactive, providing an effective learning platform.

Key features include:

Easy navigation to track progress

Optional voice commentary to teach complex topics

An interactive glossary of terms to facilitate access to key information

Interactive diagrams to clearly illustrate key learning points

Playback to allow the re-play of slides, movie clips or whole modules

Online discussion forums to share experiences with fellow delegates from around the world

The ability to ask questions or check progress via the online tutorial forum

Detailed notes give supplementary information if required

Please visit www.jee.co.uk to view a demonstration of our online distance learning courses.
