Training

The core competency of employees, contingent workers and contractors is vital to the safe and effective operation of industrial plant. EEMUA's classroom-based training courses and online learning play a key industry role in developing and testing the knowledge, understanding and competency of workers.

EEMUA training and competency schemes

EEMUA’s Technical Committees bring together deep expertise and many years of combined experience in industrial engineering. Their work, and the good practice, guidance publications it produces, are the basis for a broad range of training and competency schemes. EEMUA's publications are developed to fulfil a need for guidance in a particular area of engineering practice or as a result of regulatory expectations. EEMUA's publications help to define or clarify what is good practice and the detail of this is the main focus of each training course whether it is the learning materials, teaching, tutor support, testing, examination or certification.

Training is provided at three distinct and straightforward EEMUA competency levels that were agreed with member companies:

Awareness - suitable for those with little knowledge or experience of a topic.
Basic application - designed for those working day to day in a specific engineering area.
Practitioner - aimed at those with considerable knowledge, experience and skills that contribute to or make key decisions in their role.

Each training course is designed to give you the practical knowledge and hands-on experience needed to excel in your field. EEMUA’s training courses can also form part of your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and contribute to Professional Development Hours (PDHs). For further details, please check with your HR/Learning Department and relevant professional institution.

Courses are delivered through a mix of face-to-face, online and blended online learning. Various languages are used for teaching delivery and examination including Dutch, English, French and German. They can also be tailored to your specific needs such as your working time-zone and delivered in-house on-site. EEMUA's training and competency schemes cover these main areas:
