NGVA Europe Commences Training Courses

Last 18th and 19th January 2011, NGVA Europe successfully carried out the first international Training Course in UK for Daimler, Luxfer and Iveco clients. The UK training was hosted by NGVA Europe member Hardstaff in Nottingham.

These newly offered international NGVA Europe Training Courses are conjointly certified by NGVA Europe and TÜV, the German and internationally well established notified body for inspection and approval, also member of NGVA Europe. In cooperation with other members, the TÜV also provides specialised and experienced trainers. All NGVA Europe Training Courses are coordinated by IVS (Ingenieurbüro van Schoonhoven), coordinator of the NGVA Europe Working Group on Education and Traning.

IVS General Manager, Gijsbrecht van Schoonhoven, also one of the trainers of the first training day in UK, said: “I am glad to have had so many registrations for the first NGVA Europe Training Course. The demand for technical in-depth training is huge, therefore NGVA Europe will now already prepare the next Training Course to cover the great Europe-wide interest in our training packages, which we now make available to the public.”

The only European association to promote natural gas and biomethane in transport, NGVA Europe, decided to offer this new line of activity from the very beginning, and is now proud to provide trainings on demand any time and anywhere. Participants are able to learn about in-depth on international regulations and rules at ECE and ISO level regarding e.g. CNG/LNG vehicles and its components, CNG & L-CNG filling stations, safety issues, biomethane (production, upgrading, conditioning), national laws & policies, amongst others, and how to handle this in practicle application.

After the first NGVA Europe Training Course in UK, one of the training attendees from NGVA Europe member Luxfer gave his feedback: “I thought I already have quite a good knowledge of technical aspects and NGVs, but I have to say that I learnt a lot through the NGVA Europe training. This was exactly what I was missing, a great opportunity to perfect your skills.”
