Features, Advantages & Benefits of ETI Training

ETI's training products and services originate from Enbridge procedures, practices and expertise. Enbridge is one of the largest but most efficient, lowest-cost pipeline operators in North America.

The solutions we provide reflect industry's best practices, and originate from a large, sophisticated, leading-edge, and mature operating company. Enbridge understands effective pipeline O&M because of the breadth and depth of our operations.

Unlock the secrets of Enbridge's success by learning how we perform pipeline operations and maintenance (O&M). Lower your O&M costs and reduce the likelihood and severity of pipeline incidents by understanding and following Enbridge's principles and practices.

ETI has 15 pipeline O&M job training programs, over 200 training modules, and a wide variety of professional development courses available.

We cover it all, from control center operator to the field, from support staff to senior management. We provide everything needed to prepare individuals for pipeline O&M, from initial recruitment to job training and professional development programs. We can also customize our programs to meet specific needs you might have.

ETI can develop and qualify all of your staff, whatever their position. We have "beginner" courses for non-O&M personnel (such as back-office and support staff), a wide variety of job training programs and professional development courses for engineers and managers. Your people receive complete, comprehensive, thorough, and consistent training from a single provider.

Our training materials, procedures, technical documentation, and standards all come from Enbridge.

ETI's products and services mesh together perfectly. You won't have to "force-fit" different products and services together from multiple vendors — often with less than desirable results!

Using Enbridge-sourced products and services helps ensure uniformity during the various phases of employee training and development. Staff benefit from a consistent approach to pipeline theory, practices and procedures. Our training is consistent in presentation and delivery.

All of our training products and services are focused exclusively on liquid and gas pipeline systems.

You don't have to worry that our products or services will drift "off target." We don't provide training for refineries or gas plants or LNG facilities — we're focused solely on pipelines.

Our single-minded focus ensures your staff receive training that's applicable to their jobs. You receive better value for your training dollar because we don't waste time on non-essentials.

We offer a variety of delivery methods for our training programs, including self-study, web-based and instructor-led (classroom-style) training.

Whenever you employ ETI, you have a choice in how your pipeline training is delivered.

Many factors influence how adults prefer to learn, including culture, environment, and life and work experiences. Being able to select the right option for your organization helps ensure that the training is well-received and understood.

Our training products and services make extensive use of graphics and multimedia.

Theories, concepts and principles underlying the fundamentals of pipeline O&M are illustrated using animations, interactive exercises, pictures, graphs, and other appropriate methods.

Graphics and multimedia improve retention of the training. Employees remember more about what they were taught, and are more likely to apply the training as a result. You receive greater value for your training dollars.

We use a computer-based pipeline simulator in many of our training courses.

Simulators reinforce the concepts, principles and theories underlying pipeline operations. Furthermore, simulators are the most effective way to train staff in abnormal and emergency pipeline operations.

Understanding theory is great, but there's nothing like seeing the principles of hydraulics unfolding before your very eyes! A simulator allows for hands-on application and practice to strengthen abilities, understand concepts and build employee confidence prior to operating a "live" pipeline system.

ETI follows the competency-based training strategy. This approach has been adopted by many technical, military and vocational training institutes around the world.

Competency-based training programs are more effective than traditional methods because they focus on training to improve employee performance by acquiring measurable knowledge or skills.

Knowledge of facts and theories means little without results! ETI uses a variety of performance measures (such as exams, on-job checks and practical exercises) to ensure that training delivered yields new knowledge or skills.

ETI has a wide project experience base. We've provided training solutions for more than 90 energy companies spread over 27 countries since 1994.

Our training products and services are refined, practical and time-tested. Some products are available in languages other than English.

ETI has the experience to help ensure your project is completed on time and on budget. Many of our staff are bilingual, and have extensive experience living and working in other cultures.
