The training is the best among the other training at outside because of quality and in depth of trainers who hold solid experience in energy sector. On top of that deliverable of the traing very good and easy to understand. Before attend this course, my perception on energy is different and after attend the course it is different. It unlock my overall view on how to conduct an energy study and implement it to industry with compliance of EECA2024

This training provided up-to-date information and know-how; It is a fruitful sharing delivered by a team of high-level professionals. I shall continue participating with this organisation to gain more in the lovely field.

Wong Tien Yi

Technical Sales Executive | Astronergy New Energy Technology (Singapore) PTE LTD

I enjoyed the training so much as it allowed me to refresh my engineering calculations and link them with my industrial experience. Even though I have 15 years industrial experience in oil and gas, I learnt so much during this training.

Izza Mahmod

Improvement Executive | PETRONAS Chemical Ethylene Sdn. Bhd.

The GHG calculation training was clear and insightful, making complex concepts easy to understand. The practical examples and hands-on exercises greatly improved my grasp of the subject. I now feel confident applying these skills in my work. Highly recommended!

Nur Aishah binti Kamarudin

Facility Engineer | Omron Malaysia Sdn Bhd

The course provides good guidance on conducting thermal energy audit which is very different (maybe more rigorous) than the electrical energy audit that I’m familiar with and have participated in. It’s a good refresher course from what I’ve learnt during my undergrad years, and even more relatable since I got to apply it to an actual scale that matches my current responsibility. The step-wise details on the audit approach is also very helpful for me to get started.
