What is included in the course

About the T&I development course

Transportation and Installation (T&I) is an important part of offshore wind farm development, shaping the success of projects from the initial planning to the final execution. This course is designed to provide working professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complexities of T&I, ensuring that their projects are completed efficiently, safely, and within budget.

Learners will gain a thorough understanding of the T&I process, starting from the development stages where strategies and costs are defined. The course explores financial concepts, such as DEVEX and CAPEX, and their impact on project outcomes. You’ll learn to balance strategic goals with practical cost considerations, utilising bottom-up pricing to create detailed project schedules.

By understanding the unique requirements of wind farm components and their T&I specifics, you’ll be able to tailor procedures and select the right equipment for the project needs. From installation methods to logistical considerations, the course explores practical strategies for overcoming common obstacles in offshore wind project development.


What can you expect of this education?

The course looks at risk management and project organisation, guiding you through identifying potential risks and implementing mitigation measures. With insights on how to co-ordinate stakeholders, adapt to project changes, and manage logistics, you’ll be well-prepared to handle the evolving nature of offshore projects.

To bridge theory and practice, the course concludes with a hands-on exercise, challenging learners  to apply what they’ve learned to a simulated offshore project. Using a GIS map and real-world scenarios, you’ll design a T&I strategy, solidifying your understanding and developing your confidence in tackling similar challenges in your career.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the field, this course provides a comprehensive roadmap for mastering offshore wind T&I. By the end, you’ll be equipped with the skills and insights needed to lead successful projects, from development through execution.

Your instructors are not just passing on material from textbooks,
they are sharing their first-hand practical knowledge.
