About Us
At IKM we deliver fully accredited IWCF and ECITB courses, as well as external client awareness and practical training courses across Process, Pipelines, Well Services, and Valve Services. With innovation and customer service lying at the very core of IKM, we pride ourselves on our unique range of in-house capabilities. We work in partnership with our onshore/offshore operations teams and QHSE department, ensuring our training incorporates lessons learned, new technology, and current techniques utilised in the field. As a result, our courses remain at the forefront of industry best practice, creating a modern and engaging learning environment.
From our purpose built Westhill facility in Aberdeen, we are conveniently located only 3 minutes’ drive from the Aberdeen Bypass (AWPR), 10 minutes’ from Aberdeen Airport, and around 20 minutes from Aberdeen’s central train/bus stations. Once here, you will enjoy onsite parking, breakfast, lunch, snacks and complimentary refreshments each day, and for those requiring accommodation and/or transportation, we can even arrange bundled packages. At IKM we deliver dedicated pre and post course support, including friendly reminders for your expiring certifications, as well as special discounts for all returning candidates.
