An Aberdeen-based competency company has been awarded a one year contract to deliver a range of training courses to Stork, a global provider of knowledge-based asset integrity services, focused on the oil and gas, chemical and power sectors.

ITB Competence Assurance is an approved training centre for SQA, OPITO, City & Guilds and The Institute of Leadership and Management and works in partnership with a number of oil and gas clients worldwide, providing tailored services to match individual requirements.

The north-east company will deliver assessor and verifier courses to OPITO standards to more than 80 operatives at Stork.

Jenny Stokes, ITB’s managing director and founder, said: “We are delighted that Stork is maintaining a commitment to competency training and look forward to having them as one of our valued clients.

“Demand for training is high and competence assurance is a top priority for employees in all sectors. The effective observation, assessment and nurturing of skills leads to more efficient individuals, which in turn, creates a stronger workforce.
