OPITO, an industry-led organisation committed to developing a safe, skilled and mobile energy workforce, has introduced a new Hydrogen Open Learning course, adding to its flexible self-learning Open Learning portfolio, accredited by City & Guilds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delivered via partner Chorus Training, the Hydrogen Open Learning course provides global learners with a comprehensive introduction to working with hydrogen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learners will gain an understanding in the role of hydrogen in supporting the transition to clean energy, the characteristics and categories of hydrogen, and the required health, safety and regulatory frameworks of working with the gas. Awareness of the production, storage, transmission and distribution of hydrogen is also covered in the Open Learning course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complementing OPITO\u2019s range of energy transition related qualifications, the organisation\u2019s Open Learning courses provide a knowledge-based introduction to the emerging energy transition specialisms for trainee technicians, existing technicians and others looking to upskill and gain an understanding of emerging energy sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aligning the multiple technical and safety standards and frameworks across different parts of the offshore energy industry is a critical component of the commitments made within the North Sea Transition Deal\u2019s Integrated People and Skills Strategy which OPITO published in 2022.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucie Booth, Product Development Manager at OPITO, said: \u201cExtensive stakeholder engagement informed the development of the initial introductory qualification. We have carefully considered the needs of the supply chain and major operators to create a self-directed, flexible course tailored for individuals and organisations worldwide, offering a knowledge-based introduction to an emerging energy transition specialisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the leading voice for energy workforce development globally, OPITO has a vital role in training current apprentices and energy professionals for careers across various emerging energy sectors. We are committed to developing an agile and capable energy workforce, with the necessary skills for both today and the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OPITO\u2019s Open Learning portfolio offers a flexible learning solution delivered in a modular format. This approach allows learners to select when and where they study, enabling them to tailor their studies to fit their personal and work commitments while earning an industry-recognised certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iain Taylor, Chief Revenue Officer at Chorus Training, said:  \u201cThese digital resources empower delegates and support employers globally in adopting hydrogen as a key component of the future energy landscape. By providing accessible knowledge, we enable industries to advance non-carbon-based fuel systems like hydrogen. This collaboration between OPITO and Chorus showcases how combining industry expertise with modern digital tools can drive value, improve access, and prepare the global workforce for the evolving energy sector.\u201d For more information on OPITO\u2019s Hydrogen Open Learning course, visit: Open Learning Training Courses for the Energy Sector – OPITO<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
