9. Presentation Basic • The plan was to take up to 250 candidates through the program. When the course was finished, we had managed 150. This was unfortunately due to lack of interest from other Norwegian companies to be partners in the project. • The candidates should be skilled in their profession and be able to document their knowlegelevel by showing certificates or exam paper’s from relevant schools beforenetring the program. • The candidate’s present level of English was also important to verify during the scanning process

11. Presentation Time Schedule • First candidates was planed to take part in the English courses during April/May2005. • It will be arranged a courses every third month.   • The plan is that courses will be continuing up to summer 2006.

12. Presentation First step • After candidates have gone through the scanning procedure they are ready for the training program. • First they was going through an English course that was taken. 4 week. • During the English courses it was implemented HSE for Oil and Gas constructionwork. • In the end of the courses an exam was held.
