The program was really helpful to highlight the most important risks and audit area to look for in the oil and gas industry. I thought it I’ll be a little more focus on technical and operational audits like actually auditing maintenance and plant efficiency but it had also topics like contractors and project management that highlights areas I was not aware of. So overall it met my objectives. One thing they should about changing is the length of the day. 8 hours which is 9 to 5 is too long and you are tired by the end of the day and can’t concentrate. The hours should be shorter.Response : Dear Haya. Thank you for your time to provide this feedback. Denise has already taken onboard your comments for the next iteration of this course in 2020 and we are glad that the additional elements were useful. I do agree on your point regarding the length of the training day. We have some constraints regarding the CPE certification that comes with the course and therefore the required hours of learning but I would like to work with the trainers on this point.

The course is very tight and needs more days

Very useful training materials, well structured and delivered at the right level. i would suggest that the material can be further enhanced by demonstrating how data analytics can be performed for control effectiveness testing, rather than for sampling purposes and risk-scoring transactions as was the flavour on the day.Response : Dear Vivek. Thank you so much for this great feedback. The fact that you also take the time to provide us with specific ways to improve the content going forward is very much appreciated. I look forward to meeting you again on your next London visit. Best regards, Raj

Great overall, I just would have done maybe 1 day of getting through all the relevant technology and cut down on the history of the tech. That stuff is interesting, but won't help a ton in actual work. Then the next 2 days could have been focused on controls and how to test them (i.e., testing programs, tips & tricks, what to watch out for, etc.), which is really what the bulk of the course should be on.Response : Thank you for your feedback, and your suggestion. We are happy to see you had a great experience overall. I will be passing your suggestion on to our seminars team and instructor. Thank you for providing something that will help us improve.
