Developing a confident, competent workforce

Trainees at TPO learn in our four bespoke process training plants which replicate live operational scenarios to allow for risk-free and realistic training.  

We help trainees prepare for any scenario be replicating routine activities and faults in real-time. By taking the technical training curriculum beyond the classroom, we accelerate learning and quickly identify any gaps in competence, leading to a capable workforce with reduced time to autonomy at the worksite

“Simulations and other facilities enabled the technicians to practice real work and equipped them with the required skills and knowledge. TPO management has provided great support to resolve some of the technicians’ challenges during the training period. The new graduate technicians from TPO have shown high work standards and professionalism through their work, we have received positive feedback from their line managers with regards to their performance.”
