The Caspian Technical Training Centre liaised closely with its internal customers of BP Azerbaijan and has developed a learning programme that not only delivers the foundations of essential technical skills to the learners, but has also provided its learners with highly unique and innovative learning experiences in HSE, language and behavioural subjects that solidifies the vital foundations to their life long learning opportunities that exist within BP.The challenge from the assets to the CTTC was to produce a learner that possessed core technical skills as a foundation to their future CMAS competency, but also to provide a learner that had the following embedded skills:

• Safe Working Culture

• Fluent English Language Communication Skills

• Appropriate Business Behaviours.

The curriculum at the CTTC was initially focused on the foundations of delivering technical skills as the building blocks to the learners CMAS competency.The challenge from the AzBU was to provide an undiluted technical curriculum, whilst delivering these other essential life long personal skills using an ‘experiential’ methodology.The additional skills provide a critical solution to the needs of our specific region which also mirrors the trend of a growing Global challenge to BP.The CTTC’s unique and innovative approach to training incorporates the principle of: Tell me and I may Forget, Show me and I may Remember, Involve me and I will Understand. This newly practiced philosophy has delivered ground breaking World class results.
