3T Energy Group combines the expertise of simulator developer and manufacturer, Drilling Systems, with energy training providers, AIS Training and Survivex, and virtual technology specialist, Neutron VR, to bring a radically different “blended learning” approach to energy sector training. This approach uses simulators, e-learning, virtual reality and integrated software, alongside traditional training, to increase the competence levels of energy sector personnel and reduce “skills fade” by ensuring skills and confidence levels are maintained and remain fresh.
“We are delighted to welcome Mr Meissner to the 3T family,” Kevin Franklin, Chief Executive Officer of 3T Energy Group, said. “Mr Meissner will be responsible for supporting the 3T drive in global sales and marketing across all of the group’s businesses. He brings exceptional experience of the oil and gas industry and therefore has a deep understanding of the market and our customers’ needs. His expertise will help us add additional value across our product and service portfolio and support our ethos of putting the client at our heart to achieve the highest levels of customer service. We are very much looking forward to benefitting from his proven business acumen, drive and energy.”

These progressive training solutions are truly transforming the energy training sector landscape by increasing safety, reducing cost and creating a highly competent and more efficient workforce.
