Training & Assessment

Here at almanac.energy, we strive to provide the highest possible quality of services. Our trainers have more than 20 years of combined work experience at some of the most successful companies our industry. Candidates work with new and state-of-the-art equipment at our training establishment, while learning from experienced engineers at their work placements.

Another way we ensure the quality of our services is through the separation of training and assessment. Separating the training from the assessment and certification process, we put our candidates and our industries interests first and ensure their professional development. As of yet, it is only possible to offer a training-only system for our MLP course. However, we are taking every step possible to move ourselves and our industry in this direction.
