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 six 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.

The Board of Directors of ASET is accountable through the Chairman to the NESCol Board of Management.

Introduction

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.

www.aset.co.uk 7

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 OIM’s. Instructors knowledge and experience increases the quality and credibility of training delivered by ASET International Oil and Gas Training Academy.

For the NEBOSH Certificate course, ASET is proud of it’s current 80% pass rate, which compares well with the National average of 70%.

ASET’s NEBOSH Certificate courses are not like those offered by our competitors. We supply a course with NO HIDDEN COSTS, unlike other training providers. Included within the cost of each course are all expenses relating to the course, such as exam fees and course materials. Other training providers may also require you to travel long distances for assessment, revision or exams, meaning travel costs, accommodation costs and the cost of time away from work, which have to be considered. Only ASET gives a simple, upfront charge covering all course costs. Please bear this in mind when making price comparisons.
