Safety Leadership Academy (SLA) for Oil & Gas sector

Oil and gas professionals co-creating the next generation of industry safety culture.
With our learning partner SPE Society of Petroleum Engineers, and supported by the IOGP.

The SPE CEDEP Safety Leadership Academy, endorsed by the IOGP (The International Association of Oil and Gas Producers), is a professionally accredited training programme dedicated to the needs of the oil and gas industry.

We have devised a three-phase approach:

Phase 1 of the programme is an immersive 3-day residential session.
Phase 2 is a 3-month duration intersession for participants to apply the learnings in their work environment.
Phase 3 is a second immersive 3-day residential session to complete the programme.

In this in-depth highly interactive programme, participants prepare for the challenges emerging in an industry experiencing significant changes and in a world, that is becoming more and more uncertain and complex. They explore cutting edge leadership concepts and safety management practices to build a new mindset and culture needed in the journey to get to zero accidents.
