A list of our upcoming courses can be booked through our Next Courses page.
Equipe provides a professional, comprehensive and independent training and assessment service covering drilling, laboratory testing and geotechnics which is delivered either from its base, The Drilling Academy, or from selected facilities throughout the UK and Ireland.
The courses are vocational and have been developed to provide key skills through to advanced training for drillers, undergraduates, technicians, earth scientists, geologists and engineers who wish to start or progress their careers in drilling and geotechnics
Equipe has partnered with the UK’s leading manufacturers, suppliers and a number of independent consultants to ensure that the courses are delivered by trainers with real experience and knowledge and the course content contains up to date content.
Course Content
Equipe provides tailored courses aimed at the attendees as we believe that often the content of technical courses is either aimed too high or too low. We provide courses which allow the attendees to carry out their jobs competently and efficiently and give them the confidence to progress.
Courses can be taken individually or can be combined to establish a useful tool box of knowledge.
