<h2><strong>About this Training Course</strong> </h2>
<p>Geomechanical evaluations are about the assessment of deformations and failure in the subsurface due to oil &amp; gas production, geothermal operations, CO<sub>2</sub> storage and other operations. All geomechanical evaluations include four types of modelling assumptions, which will be systematically addressed in this training, namely:</p>
<p>1.      Geometrical modelling assumption: Impact of structural styles on initial stress and stress redistribution due to operations</p>
<p>2.      Formation (or constitutive) behaviour: Linear elastic and non-linear behaviour, associated models and their parameters, and methods how to constrain these using</p>
<p>3.      Initial stress: Relation with structural setting and methods to quantify the in-situ stress condition</p>
<p>4.      Loading conditions: Changes in pore pressure and temperature on wellbore and field scale</p>
<p>This 5 full-day course starts with the determination of the stresses in the earth, the impact of different structural styles, salt bodies, faulting and folding on the orientation of the three main principal stress components. Different (field) data sources will be discussed to constrain their magnitude, while exercises will be made to gain hands-on experience.</p>
<p>Subsequently, the concepts of stress and strain will be discussed, linear elasticity, total and effective stress and poro-elasticity in 1D, 2D and 3D, as well as thermal expansion. Participants will be able to construct and interpret a Mohr-circles. Also, different failure mechanisms and associated models (plastic, viscous) will be discussed. All these concepts apply on a material point level.</p>
<p>Next, geomechanics on the wellbore scale is addressed, starting with the stress distribution around the wellbore (Kirsch equations). The impact of mudweight on shear and tensile failure (fracturing) will be calculated, and participants will be able to determine the mudweight window stable drilling operations, while considering well deviation and the use of oil-based and water-based muds (pore pressure penetration). Fracturing conditions and fracture propagation will be addressed.</p>
<p>Field-scale geomechanics is addressed on the fourth day, focussing on building a 3D geomechanical model that is fit-for-purpose (focussing on the risks that need evaluation). Here, geological interpretation (layering), initial stress and formation property estimation (from petrophysical logs and lab experiments) as well as determining the loading conditions come together.</p>
<p>The course is concluded with interpretation of the field-wide geomechanical response to reservoir depletion with special attention to reservoir compaction &amp; subsidence, well failure and fault reactivation &amp; induced seismicity. Special attention is paid to uncertainties and formulating advice that impacts decision-making during development and production stages of a project.</p>
<p>This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format.</p>

“Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time. 
What we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.”
Sydney J. Harris - American journalist. (1917 – 1986).

Change is constant in our lives, yet our ability to resist it, avoid or even stop it is also constant. But why? And how do we fix this?
This workshop examines the many challenges change brings and identifies the various types of people in a change process. We will brainstorm all the possible reasons for resistance to change and discuss our experiences with those who were resistant to the idea of change. 
We then look to work positively on solving or at least reducing all the negative aspects of change and positioning change in a far more positive light. 
In some cases, the impending change will upset pretty much everyone in the organisation, and we need to know how to mitigate its impacts. In fact, we need to understand how sometimes we can agree with most people's thinking, understand their resistance and negativity, and still be able to turn things around to prove that the change needs to happen.
Changes will happen, and whilst we can’t remove all the negatives from each person's perspective, we can plan, prepare, and manage change surprisingly well when we have the tools and processes to do so.
Always remember to get your people to think about the long game.

Our Performance Management (PM) workshop is based on Emotional Intelligence (EI). It focuses on helping organisations move away from traditional PM processes and work hard at reinventing them under a different name and approach aimed at supporting and collaborating to help both the Manager/Leader and the colleague.
Historically, PM sessions have been held every six months or even annually, which, in our opinion, is no good. PM meetings are often treated with little importance and an almost tick-box attitude. This clearly does not help either party, so we focus very much on changing that.
In our opinion, the PM meeting should be an opportunity for both parties to discuss what is best for each other. We should be mindful of job descriptions and realistic expectations and consider various situations both at work and for the individual.
We discuss the importance of 'facilitating' feedback instead of just giving it. We explore our 'Reasoning Questions' to show how they work, why they are critical and what benefits they bring.
We discuss the usefulness of a Skills Matrix and various other tools to help both parties work towards the common goal of producing the best possible output under the best conditions.
We introduce our PM Cycle and discuss its benefits and how it works, along with 'Consequence Conversations' and their use.

Who? - This is for any level of Manager or Leader (regardless of hierarchical position) and those expected to step into managerial or leadership roles in the next 12 to 18 months.
Why? - Experience has taught us that if you want employees to give their best for the payment you give them, then you MUST work equally hard at supporting them in every conceivable way.
Motivated employees will work willingly and go the extra mile for you if you do the same for them. 'Quid pro quo' is Latin for 'Something for something' The organisation, its Leaders and Managers and all the other colleagues MUST be a supportive and collaborative partnership. HR is there to support that and not there to do all the work to make it happen. And they are definitely not there to deal with team disputes and challenges initially. The best person to fix such things is often their line manager, with whom they have the best relationship. It is only when that is exhausted that HR should be involved officially.
Make PM work for everyone. Help your people to perform to their best. And do it together.
Training Course Content
We ask everyone to discuss what great EI-based PM looks and feels like for them and state why.
We introduce our thinking about the collaborative PM approach and why we believe this is the best way forward.
We discuss how often these events should be and why they should be mere summaries of monthly catch-ups.
We discuss using a Skills Matrix, how they work, why they are brilliant, and why they are worth the time to create them.
We introduce our 'Archway Approach'® and how that fits well with PM.
We discuss our 'Consequence Conversations' and why these must be introduced as early as possible.
We go through our 7 Stages of a PM meeting from preparation to follow-up and who needs to know.
We discuss our 'Employee Engagement Ladder', how it should be used and why it is critical to PM.
We watch a video of two well-known sports personalities discussing aspects of leadership.
Workshop delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, at the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

<h3><b>OSPF training course description</b></h3>
        <p>A detailed hands on examination of OSPF. Hands on sessions are used to reinforce the theory rather than teach specific manufacturer equipment. The course starts with a recap of reading routing tables and then jumps straight in with simple OSPF configuration. OSPF features are then studied and configured before moving onto how OSPF works within an area. Multi area OSPF is then studied before looking at OSPF operation in detail by analysing OSPF packets. Finally areas are covered again in more detail followed by troubleshooting. </p>
        
				<h5><b>What will you learn</b></h5>

<h2>About this Training</h2>
<p>Front End Loading (FEL) is a methodology that takes a deliberate approach to capital project planning. Where traditional project plans seek to help an operator reach production targets and budgets, FEL methodology aligns an operator's technical and business goals to create a more comprehensive development plan. The FEL approach increases project definition and lowers risk to positively impact total investment costs and return on investment.</p>

They include joint venture operations, drilling and well services and agreements for the sale of crude oil and natural gas. Discussions of these agreements will be illustrated with the use of detailed Checklists.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">The final session covers emerging issues that will impact the future of PSC operations such as International Dispute Resolution, transfer of Late Life Assets, Global Climate Change, and International and Bilateral Investment Treaties and Trade Sanctions.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text);

Why? 
People with complex needs, deserve a thorough, co-ordinated 24-hour postural care service. We only get one body and yet people with complex disabilities don't always get the 'annual service' afforded the equipment they use.
Posture Positive report (2020) found training is a key aspect to developing resilient and robust 24-hour postural care for people with complex needs. Every person with complex needs or limited movement requires a comprehensive 24-hour postural care service delivered in a personalised way. 
Who? 
The course is suitable for specialist physiotherapists, specialist occupational therapists and other highly trained healthcare professionals working in health, SEN and social care. 
The course breaks down the life span of a person as follows:
0-3 years
Children and young people in education
Adults
Older people an palliative care
Each delegate selects the aspects of the course relevant to their particular area of practice whilst having access to all the course resources.
What? 
On completion of the course, it is hoped delegates will be equipped with the knowledge needed to deliver an outstanding, person-centred, 24-hour postural care service. 
This course covers: 
Why is postural care such a big deal?
What is 24-hour postural care?
Identification of need
Predictable changes to body shape
Preventing, protecting and reversing body shape distortion
Postural care in the real world with real people
Special considerations for all stages of life
Monitoring and evaluating outcomes
Co-production in developing personalised postural care
You can focus on one specific age group or take a general approach allowing you to adapt the course to meet your own learning objectives. 
On 16th December the final live review events with the trainers via Zoom are available for the specific ages that the course covers. You must attend at least one of these live discussion (the one most relevant to your practice) but you are welcome to join all four. Please note the timings are GMT.
10.30am - 11.30am 0-3 years
11.45am – 12.45pm Children in education
1.45pm - 2.45pm Adults

We are very proud to offer this accredited qualification to those involved with any and all aspects in a food business relating to Food Safety.
Holders of the qualification will have the knowledge necessary to be an integral part of a food business as well as part of Technical and Quality departments and HACCP team members.
The qualification is also relevant to those owning/managing smaller food businesses to give them the underpinning knowledge to develop a HACCP study and understand the fundamentals of food safety.

EITHER -
CLASSROOM OPTION - Attend one of our scheduled classroom locations, completing your Introduction to Phlebotomy Course over 2 days. You will also complete your Advanced Training at the end of the first day and your Competency Training at the end of the second day.

Our Introduction to Phlebotomy and Advanced Phlebotomy Training Kits are supplied at no charge when booking our virtual classroom training option.
If you would like to add one or both of these kits to your classroom training option then these are available to add at time of booking. Our comprehensive training kits each mirror the same equipment and supplies used in the classroom and both include detailed video tutorials, allowing you to continue to practice and "hone" your skills after you have completed your practical training.

OR -

VIRTUAL CLASSROOM OPTION- Complete your theory training online at home or work, then join us for a one day Zoom session to complete your Introduction to Phlebotomy virtual classroom training, followed by your Advanced Training in the evening of the same day.

The Candidate Journey

The Review and Planning Party will help you discover what went well in 2024, what obstacles tripped you up (and keep doing so!) and anything you've learned to take into 2025. The planning stage is looking forward with your goals, managing the self-limiting beliefs and sabotaging characters and exploring how you can move along your business journey, so when January 2026 arrives, you can say, lots have changed for the better. It's going to be a party because we get to celebrate the wins of the group and connect and learn from each other. We will work through a prepared worksheet together that you'll receive before the party begins and the interactions and me as your guide will move us through the process.
