HSE Introduction for New Technicians in the Oil & Gas Sector

Enhancing Communication & Safety: English Training for New Technicians

Overview

I designed an English training programme for technicians transitioning into a multinational corporate environment. The first three months were office-based, focusing on general and technical English while reinforcing company health and safety standards. Since the technicians already had industry expertise in their native language, the course bridged the gap between their existing knowledge and company expectations. By combining language development, technical terminology, and workplace safety awareness, the programme gradually built their confidence and communication skills for a smooth transition into their new roles.

Reflection

Since this module was developed retrospectively, I didn't have direct access to the videos and materials actually used by the multinational company, which limited my ability to fully align the training with their specific resources. Looking ahead, incorporating AI-based solutions could potentially replace the final in-class task, allowing for automated feedback and assessment without the need for an instructor. Additionally, for learners with weaker English skills, I recognize that further language reinforcement could be beneficial to ensure better comprehension and application of the content. While the module is effective in its current form, a longer duration could provide more opportunities for practice and deeper engagement with the material.
