MasterClass delivered to Kentech Development Academy

Training
When Kentech engaged Alan Mills to deliver MasterClass Online Foundation training to their young talent in the Kazakhstan Development Academy, it was late 2019 and no-one had heard of Covid-19 or really knew what a pandemic was. Within a few weeks the forward thinking of then Commissioning Director, David Touhey and key focal point, Lorcan O'Carroll began to look like pure genius. Now everyone completely understands the benefits of working remotely and online training from home, with self-paced learning.

Alan Mills helps ECITB to develop Training Standards in CSU

Industry News, Training
Falcon Global's MD, Alan Mills has been working closely with the UK's Engineering Construction Industry Training Board to produce the first training standards in Systems Completion, Commissioning & Start-Up. “Throughout my career there has not been an internationally accepted standard for the CSU of facilities in the Process industries.

Reviews of “The Search for a Silver Bullet”

Training
Interview with the Commissioning Coach, Thomas Stuenkel"Amazing interview, this kind of interview is the one that has to get into the EPC companies. They don't understand how important the completion steps are to be successful in the project and how using a completion tool will save time and money and also will provide transparency and process safety.
