It’s a great introduction for anyone beginning a career in offshore wind, and for experienced specialist personnel who want to know more about how the management jigsaw fits together

The RECOA Transport & Installation (T&I) course presented by Offshore Construction Associates (OCA) is an ideal introduction to the intricacies of Offshore Renewable Energy Projects. It covers a broad range of subjects, including initial planning, preparation, component delivery, and offshore installation of structures and transmission cable networks. During the course, a highly complex organisation is broken down and distilled into easy-to-follow steps and is presented in a clear and engaging module. This is an excellent follow-on to RECOA’s course IN01 – Introduction to Renewable Energy. It’s a great introduction for anyone beginning a career in offshore wind, and for experienced specialist personnel who want to know more about how the management jigsaw fits together. It’s also a perfect way to introduce newly hired employees to the complexities of managing offshore wind projects! Nick Wordsworth, Arnold Koning, and Cameron McPartland of OCA are renowned experts in the T&I field and have produced a first-rate informative course distributed by RECOA.
