Professional Training Courses in Aberdeen

Why attend professional training in Aberdeen?

A boom in the energy, high tech and electronics' design sectors supported by local companies account for Aberdeen's economic growth over the past three decades. The more traditional local economies, such as shipbuilding and the textile industries, have been largely replaced with the energy industry and predominantly the Oil & Gas sector.

The oil and gas industry has been the major driver of Aberdeen’s and the North East of Scotland’s economies over the past years. These sectors account for more than a quarter of the city’s jobs. Professional training in these areas and local investments in lifelong learning projects have maintained the unemployment to a stable low rate of 2.4%, which is comparably lower the UK's average.

Research projects carried out at the local universities and research institutes deliver patents for the energy sector, chemical industry and medical technologies. Five Nobel Prize laureates were academics at the University of Aberdeen, which has generally encouraged and supported a high concentration of life scientists in the city. Industry agents from Aberdeen have supported the city's reputation as the Oil Capital of Europe. They now become more preoccupied with making Aberdeen the Energy Capital of Europe, given the more recent interest in renewable energy projects.
