The US $500,000 centre in New Maadi is spread over three floors and includes 15 classrooms, fire training facilities, offices and the latest high tech simulation equipment to cover all aspects of training within the oil and gas industry.
All courses delivered at the centre are Health and Safety Executive (HSE) approved with credited certification for participants at the end of the training.
The centre is the largest of its kind in Egypt and there are plans to expand it in future. Its opening follows AlMansoori's recent acquisition of Alpine Oil Services Egypt (AOSE) a production testing, drill stem testing and underbalanced drilling company. The acquisition marked AlMansoori's breakthrough into the Egyptian oil and gas market.
Mario Nahas, general manager, Gulf Technical & Safety Training Centre, said: "AlMansoori regards health and safety as an extremely important issue. We already have a world class training facility in Abu Dhabi, and we believe we have a vital role to play in enhancing safety within the North African oil and gas industry.
"At our new centre we will be able to create scenarios that exceed on the job training to ensure our students are able to competently handle every situation that may arise and avert any potential disaster."
