Qualiopi certificate EXAMPLES OF PROJECTS SUPPORTED BY THE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE For several offshore wind projects, we have proposed a training course containing the following modules:Initial BT-HTA-HTB electrical clearanceSF6 CertificationOperation and maintenance of a GIS (range B, T or F)Power transformer and monitoringMonitoring and control devices (BWatch3, PDWatch...)Between 2021 and 2024, 98 days of training were provided to our European electricity producer client in 28 sessions, for more than 150 trainees.In 2025, 13 days of training were provided in 3 sessions, for more than 20 trainees. For 4 years, the Technical Institute has supported the skills development of employees in the defense sector on the following themes:General, regulations and standardsElectrical diagramsDesign of the facilitiesEnergy conversionProtection of installationsApparatus and equipment CalculationsMaintenance and operation of emergency facilities and plantsConnection agreement78 sessions were organized on client sites in France or at our premises in Aix-les-Bains, to train 663 participants from different professions. Several other sessions among 17 modules will be organized until 2027. New Caledonia, highly dependent on the nickel industry, faces energy challenges related to intensive electricity consumption.Aware of the specificities of the New Caledonian context, we conducted several training sessions for the teams of different local electricity operators in order to raise their awareness about the challenges of SF₆ gas.We have customized our training program to the equipment installed so that trainees can deepen their knowledge in the following areas :The principles and maintenance of a GIS substationThe risks associated with handling a pressurized compartmentThe handling of SF₆ gas, allowing enabling them to work safely.This customized solution allowed our clients to optimize their operations and ensure the safety of their facilities.
