Subsea Next Course

We will take you to world-leading companies, where you will receive an introduction to their products and technologies from the subsea industry in the Bergen region of Norway.

The unique combination of visiting CCB Subsea and the leading subsea system developers OneSubsea and TechnipFMC will provide you with the latest insights into subsea technologies and a solid understanding of subsea production systems.

Target group

This three-day course is intended for engineers who are:

• new to the offshore industry
• transfer of expertise to the subsea industry from other disciplines
• A refresher course for experienced engineers to update their subsea knowledge

Most of the course will be taught in a classroom, but will also include tours of the factories, giving you hands-on experience with subsea components.

The course will also be interactive, and there will be opportunities to ask questions and discuss what has been learned with the expert presenters.

In particular, visual elements have been included wherever possible to allow delegates to view products—both hardware and software—intended for subsea use.
