It is provided asynchronously (self-paced and without a live trainer) via PC, tablet or mobile phone to enable the user to access it at anytime and anywhere.

Course Description

The course is provided in modular format. Each module/unit comprising 40-50 minutes self-paced study via Petrolessons.com. Each unit contains worksheets and preliminary flash-cards providing the learner with the necessary input material and vocabulary to complete the unit. Homework modules are also available for further study.

Language Focus

This is not an academic course. It is designed to improve and develop speaking, confidence, pronunciation and fluency for workers who regularly need to communicate in English with colleagues and peers.

The course comprises 50 units in a range of oil and gas industry related topics. By the end of the course learners will be able to:

  • Identify, enquire about and report errors and basic problems.
  • Respond to suggestions, make requests and communicate with colleagues.
  • Use the language of location and position to identify and describe equipment, machinery and devices in an operational environment.
  • Read and comprehend basic manuals, instructions, instrumentation, gauges, charts and tables.
  • Demonstrate a working knowledge of terms associated with mass, area, volume, pressure and temperature.
  • Provide basic analysis of flow charts, diagrams and graphs.
  • Describe the basic working principles and identify the components of production machinery such as pumps, turbines and engines.

Methodology

Tangent Training recognises that oil and gas workers are required to speak and be coherent in a working environment. Classes are given in the lexical format where learners learn chunks of language. We incorporate CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) methodologies where the principles of the subject are taught with the language in tandem.

A full course outline and detailed summary of units is available on request.
