Survivex Opens Largest Single Site State of the Art Training Complex in Scotland

The only training centre of its kind in Scotland is now open in Aberdeen. Survivex, a new start business delivering excellence in safety unveils its 53,000 square foot state of the art, bespoke training facility in Dyce.

The new build centre is the largest such single site complex in Scotland and is fully equipped with the latest equipment and facilities for offshore survival and industrial skills training for the oil and gas industry. Survivex will deliver a range of fully accredited courses at the centre. Survivex, which has planned to have a staff of fifty by the end of 2011, opens with 43 permanent members of staff and has created an additional 10 posts via contracted services.

Established by managing director, George Green who has over 20 years experience within the training sector and who sold his previous training business in 2008, Survivex will offer training in-house, at client premises and offshore across the globe.

Survivex, managing director, George Green says, “The significant investment we have made in the development of our bespoke training facility is driven by our goal to provide the highest quality, fully accredited training for the oil and gas industry. We aim to be the market leader and to establish a new standard for the delivery of excellent safety training.

“Survivex has two purpose built pools with helicopter underwater escape training apparatus, as well as simulated helicopter deck for helicopter landing officer training. This makes us the only single site centre in Scotland to offer this scope of services. We will also deliver training at clients’ sites both on and offshore.”

“Locating the centre in Dyce puts us right in the heart of the energy capital and within close proximity to the world’s leading oil and gas companies. Health and safety is of paramount importance in the energy sector and Survivex will provide organisations and self-funding individuals with the ability to access world leading health and safety training qualifications and skills.

“Survivex is founded on many years of experience within the training sector and we have carefully selected our specialist training team, recruiting highly experienced and skilled instructors and assessors to deliver our range of courses.”

The new training facility, developed by Knight Property Group, also includes purpose built rigging frames, dedicated halls for forklift, confined space, banksman slinger and skills training as well as offering conference and meeting facilities.

George concludes, “Our conference suites, which can accommodate up to eighty people, are backed up with a first class conference support team continuing to deliver our ethos of ensuring our clients receive the best service in state of the art surroundings at all times.”
