Our Headquarters

The Florence Learning Center is located next to GE Oil & Gas headquarters in Florence, Italy and takes in

the promises of the GE Oil & Gas Technical Trianing. The department offers courses to the global oil and

gas community. Our 5,600 square meter facility has more than 20 training rooms, a conference center

with a seating capacity of 200, multimedia rooms, and classrooms equipped with Speedtronic™ Mark V,

Mark VI and MarkVIe control panels, and Bently Nevada™ equipment to offer a hands-on learning

experience. Our instructors are field-seasoned experts who combine an understanding of theory with

practical experience. The high quality training provided is a prerequisite for improving the skills of

operation and maintenance personnel to ensure safety and superior equipment availability. Training

courses delivered at the Florence Learning Center offer formal classroom lectures with the added

advantage of being able to visit the manufacturing plant, where trainees have the opportunity to

become familiar with GE Oil & Gas machining, assembly and testing operations while they are actually

being performed.

In addition, the Florence Learning Center features numerous cut-out scale models of machines to helpstudents visualize concepts throughout the learning process.

We offer courses both on a single company basis and for groups that include more than one company.

ITALYMASSA PLANT

In February 2010 a new training facility was

inaugurated at the GE Oil & Gas Massa Plant, justover 50 miles (80 km) from Florence headquarter.

Massa is a state of the art very large facility

mainly focused on 4 areas: production of heavy

wall reactors, production and assembly of

compressor packages, string and full-load

testing of complete compression systems,

and the LM2500 aeroderivative Service Shop.

Training at this facility is specialized to provide

courses for aeroderivative equipment, and

includes the following:

Fully equipped classroom adjacent to the

Aeroderivative Service Shop giving students

immediate access to the shop and an intimate

view of the internal components of gas turbines

being serviced

LM2500 package dedicated to practical

training for mechanical operations. Students

perform Level 1 module mechanical procedures

including external and borescopic inspectionsof the hot path component bleed valves, VSV

readings and settings, thermocouple checks,

scavenge lube oil, etc.

A control room with a Speedtronic™ Mark VI

control panel.

Connection to a test cell with an LM2500 SAC

gas turbine gives students first hand experience

in start-up

BARI PLANT

Two specially equipped training rooms are

available at the Bari Plant, which is located

in Southern Italy.

The Bari site is a 230,000 m2 plant fully dedicated

to the design and fabrication of pumps and

industrial valves. This training facility offers

courses on any type of GE centrifugal pumps.

Students have ready access to the shop floor

where they can see exactly how our pumps are

manufactured, assembled and tested.

ALGERIAStarting in October 2010, the GE Oil & Gas

Algesco Service Shop, located in Boufarik, in

northern Algeria, has its own training center

containing a fully equipped Bently Nevada™

Rotor Kit, BN 3500 rack, System 1 and a

Speedtronic™ MarkVI control panel.

NIGERIAIn September 2004 the first GE Regional TrainingCenter was inaugurated in Port Harcourt Nigeria

to provide technical information, training and

assistance for customers in Nigeria and the

surrounding regions. It is the first GE facility of

its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Construction has recently been completed on a

new, four-story building located in the industrial

zone of Port Harcourt City, Rivers State.

The Center includes two fully equipped classroomsfor mechanical training sessions, a gas turbine

control panel simulator and other instructional

materials such as machined cut-outs showing

component parts and displays designed to

instruct trainees on the operational features of

GE equipment for oil and gas applications.

The Center offers both standard and customized

training packages for GE equipment for operation

and maintenance personnel, as well as leadership

and management courses.

MEXICOOur GE office in Ciudad del Carmen includes a

training room equipped with a Speedtronic™ Mark VI

Simplex Control panel. Students can simulate

operations and to gain hands-on experience with

the panel itself.

GE Oil & Gas Technical Training provides world-class, site specific technical training

to owners and operators of our equipment. Courses and programs are offered for

the operation and maintenance of GE Equipment.

Customized training is intended to provide trainees with practical experience thatthey will be able to apply on a daily basis. The courses are designed to meet the

customer’s specific needs and are developed using the actual documentation

prepared for the customer’s units. Instruction is available either at the customer’s

site or at the Florence Learning Center, and is scheduled at the convenience of the

customer. The course duration is tailored to the course material and the background

of the trainees. To ensure an optimum learning experience for the individual, the

class size is limited to 15 trainees for mechanical subjects and 10 trainees for

control courses.

Multi-customer training are also possible allowing to participants from differentcompanies to take part in the courses together.

This program was launched in 2008 and certifies the

customer’s ability to manage a specific installation

containing GE rotating equipment. The CORE training

approach certifies the ability of the customer’s

operators from a comprehensive plant operation

point of view. The training program includes

exercises, simulations and finally, an individual

exam administered by a GE senior technical

examiner. This site-specific certification givesoperators the highest level of preparation and

proficiency.

GUARANTEE EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY

The customer's personnel engaged in operation and

maintenance activities have a major impact on the

reliability of the equipment. Assuring the proficiency

of plant personnel through systematic and structured

training limits the risk of damage and unforeseen

costs due to human error.

ANALYZING THE GAP BETWEEN EXISTING AND IDEAL

PERSONNEL PREPARATION

GE Oil & Gas training experts can help customers evaluate

the background and preparation of their personnel with

respect to their responsibilities and training can be tailored

and executed to eliminate any gaps identified.

FIXED AND LOWER EDUCATION COSTS

With a long term training agreement, customers can

reduce the cost of preparing their personnel to contribute

safely and effectively to the operation of their plant. The

training budget can be determined and allocated in up

front, and the cost of developing specialized courses canbe determined in advance and optimized.

Multimedia InteractiveManual

Since the technical documentation that supports training is an

essential component in the process of learning to operate the

machines employed in the oil & gas industry, we now offer our

customers an innovative learning tool that we call MIM

(Multimedia Interactive Manual). MIM presents all of the

information necessary to properly use the core equipment

installed in systems -- from the theoretical, operational andmaintenance views. The imperatives followed in the

development of the Multimedia Interactive Manual are clarity

of content, simple organization and usability of the

information. These objectives have resulted in an MIM product

with superior information content, built in interactive functions,

ease and speed of accessing information, moderate computer

requirements, and simplified distribution and updating

capabilities.
