ESD Simulation Training is a leading international training company providing technical training to the process industries. 

At ESD Simulation Training, we use dynamic simulation models to deliver hands-on training to professionals in the oil and gas and other process industries. The capacity to create real scenarios in real time provides an engaging learning environment and measurable results. It allows you to explore high-risk scenarios without risk to yourself or your plant and it can help you make better decisions in the design of the systems and in the operation and maintenance of equipment.

In addition to leading-edge computer models and simulation tools, ESD Simulation Training has a highly qualified faculty of experienced engineers and operations professionals who have undergone extensive training within their areas of expertise. The depth of their collective knowledge in the process industries and their proven ability to convey their knowledge has won the trust and respect of over 30,000 delegates during the past 20 years.

Whether you're new to the field and want to accelerate your practical knowledge or an experienced engineer seeking to upgrade your knowledge, ESD Simulation Training has a course suited to your needs. Whats more, we can customise a course to fit your specific environment.

Who We Are

Founded in 1989, ESD Simulation Training has established itself as the industry leader in dynamic simulation training worldwide.

With offices in Scotland, Canada, Australia and the United States, and agents in Africa and Malaysia, ESD Simulation Training is able to deliver a broad range of open access and in-house seminars on topics covering the range of Compressor Operation (Centrifugal, Screw, and Reciprocating), FPSOs, Emergency Systems, Coal Seam Methane, Subsea and Floating LNG training as well as non-technical workshops.

ESD Simulation Training can award certification under the following professional organizations:

    • EA (Engineers Australia)IChemE (Institution of Chemical EngineersIMechE (Institute of Mechanical Engineers)
    • APEGGA (Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta)
    • OPITO (Offshore Petroleum Industrial Training Organization)

Why you need it

Accelerate your career. Take your college training to the next level. Our courses give you exposure to the real-time, real-world scenarios you’ll need to troubleshoot on the job in a safe, simulated environment.

Give your company the competitive edge. A well-trained workforce increases efficiency, reduces the likelihood of damage to equipment, increases safety and improves environmental performance.

Save your company money. Onsite mistakes cost time and money. Money spent on practical simulation training is money saved in the field.

How we do it

At ESD Simulation Training, we know the limitations of the ‘Chalk & Talk’ lecture format. A talking head at the front of the room and students taking notes for hours creates a passive and ineffective learning environment. That’s why our courses are broken into 40-minute sessions comprised of lectures, simulation model exercises, videos, CBT + multi-media training and group discussions. With a firm focus on hands-on training and interaction these courses keep students engaged, and result in a deeper and more lasting understanding of process operations.

PEARL + Computer Simulation

In 2007 ESD Simulation Training acquired PEARL, a Central Control Room Operations Simulator. Reflecting the behaviour of a real plant, this process model consists of the main process areas typically found on an oil and gas plant. With fully customizable content, all operations can be performed in a controlled environment, from starting up the plant and bringing it to full production to shutting it down again.
