Recently, T.A. Cook trained a group of Middle East managers and engineers for the first time. In January 2009 T.A. Cook Operations Director North America, Larry Olson, conducted the five day training, which was sponsored by Kavaq Business Intelligence at the Diplomat Residence Inn in Manama, Bahrain.
The attendees came from three Middle East countries, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. They represented four companies from different fields: energy production (oil, gas and electricity), the building materials industry and aircraft maintenance.
The subject of the training scheme was Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional which included the opportunity to take the exam to become a Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) held by the independent and non-profit Society for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals (www.smrp.org).
Feedback from the attendees to Larry Olson after they completed the training was very positive: “I am confident that you are a major contributor to our success not only in this CMRP exam but also in our future career”, said one of the participants, Eid Otabi, a maintenance engineer at Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s largest oil and gas producer.
Sponsor Kavaq was very satisfied as well and has indicated that more sessions will be offered in the upcoming months, as well as the opportunity for T.A. Cook to give training on various other topics.
