Simprentis has teamed up with Cactus Language Training and CultureSmart to design specialist cultural training programmes for the energy industry.  The new partnership will enable oil and gas companies to improve multicultural operations and help them sell more effectively across cultures, as well as improving overall business communications.

Simprentis is a leading provider of learning to the international oil and gas industry and has developed OilSim, a groundbreaking new learning platform for training energy companies.  Cactus and CultureSmart will design and deliver new modules to integrate with the OilSim programme, offering an unrivalled and tailored mix of language and cultural training.

Olavur Ellefsen, CEO of Simprentis, comments: “We were looking for partners to offer blended language and cultural training that would really enhance our existing programmes.  For us, Cactus and CultureSmart are the perfect fit, delivering stimulating and challenging training experiences for our clients.  We’re delighted to be working together.”

“This new partnership is designed to meet the specific needs of energy companies that want to build their presence in new global markets by developing a more multicultural mindset,” comments Peter Rodway, Head of Tailormade Training at Cactus.  “Our expertise lies in offering clear and coherent language and cultural training, and this will complement Simprentis’ offering.  We’re looking forward to further developing and fine-tuning our training programmes in the coming months.”
