Customized Programmes 

Customized programmes are designed for a specific occasion or purpose. These programmes can vary in types, length, and depth, ranging from a course lasting several days, to a tailored long-term programme, and from short delegation visits to capacity building programmes over several years, in which regular components are mixed with case studies and modules requested by the client. These all are often provided in cooperation among Energiring, its international partners, and private/public institutions in Middle East.

Tailor-made training caters directly to the needs of each client. This means that courses can be organized for groups of various sizes, from one or several organizations, sectors or regions. They can be designed to upgrade knowledge and skills, to introduce new technologies, or to strengthen sector performance.

From operational point of view, tailor-made training can be delivered on-site in Iranian regions, or based at Petrad/SOTS workplace in Norway, or a combination of the two. A mixture of training instruments are used, including lectures, workshops, group work, presentations, role-plays, case studies and study tours to project sites throughout Europe or in the region where the training takes place.

In terms of demand assessment, programmes for comprehensive capacity building usually start with a training needs survey, which is a method for assessing the thematic areas and capacity building methods most urgently needed by the target institution. For this purpose, the Consortium selects only the finest instructors with industry experience in the areas they instruct for the training operations.

A customized programme can contain one or more of the following themes and modules:

• Training need assessment;
• Customized courses: Emphasis on teaching;
• Seminars: Emphasis on exchanging insights;
• Workshops: Emphasis on addressing a particular issue which needs to be resolved;
• Scheduled course participation;
• Delegation visits: At sites or institutions with particular relevance for the target group;
• Formal education opportunities: Attendance at university studies etc. for key personnel;
