Why train with SPE?

When you take an SPE course, you are getting cutting-edge, current technical information from the very experts who pioneered these technologies as well as content customized specifically to the audience’s background and learning goals.

The SPE training program actively supports the SPE Mission in “providing opportunities for professionals to enhance their technical and professional competence” through educational offerings.

Our topics and experts are carefully selected to supply necessary and current resources that help professionals improve their expertise and remain up to date on best practices and technical information in a dynamic industry.
 

Why should members take SPE courses? What are the advantages over commercially offered training?

As an SPE member benefit, courses are offered to all members at a discounted or complimentary rate vs. the nonmember rate. Income from the courses is reinvested into the program to support the continuation of SPE professional development.

SPE course scheduling and the relevance of the catalog are managed by SPE staff under the advisement of SPE subject matter expert volunteers (SMEs) as they monitor industry trends.
 

How does SPE decide which courses should be offered?

The SPE training staff works with global subject matter experts, advisors, technical directors, and committee members to source classes to be offered in the training catalog. These individuals understand trending topics and select complementary courses for events. We not only remain current with course content and topics, but we proactively anticipate the trends of the industry and the energy demands.
