Nine years ago, EPIT Group made a strategic decision to relocate to a custom built training complex in Blackburn Business Park near Aberdeen. This move was not just about physical relocation; it was a bold commitment to the future during a notably tough phase for the oil and gas industry. Despite the challenges, everyone at EPIT held a strong belief in the resilience of the market and the superior quality of its training programs and instructors. This faith was not misplaced.
The decision to invest in a state-of-the-art facility came at a critical time when the industry was grappling with economic hurdles. Yet, our confidence in the offerings we had as a training and assessment provider, as well as the strategic vision an exciting growth trajectory, attracting loyalty and new partnerships. Over the years, both established operators and supply chain service companies, alongside thousands of individual contractors, have chosen EPIT for their professional training needs.
Martin Constable, EPIT Group’s Operations Director, reflects on this journey as the facility approaches another milestone: “As we enter our 10th year of operations in the purpose built facility, we are grateful for everyone who chose EPIT for courses and advisory services and we are looking forward to another year of successful operations and new and exciting developments.”
“As we mark the ninth anniversary of the training centre, I am immensely proud of the progress and achievements we’ve seen at EPIT. This facility has become a beacon of excellence for providing training and consultancy. Each day, our dedicated team strives to exceed expectations, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of industry standards and innovations” said Alison Cox, Managing Director of EPIT Group.
Jim Craig, Chairman of EPIT Group, added: “Looking ahead, we are excited about the opportunities and our commitment to advancing professional development in the industry has never been stronger, and we are motivated by the challenges and possibilities that lie ahead.”
As EPIT Group celebrates these significant milestones, the focus is not merely on commemorating past successes but also on leveraging these achievements to foster future growth. The unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and professional development ensures that EPIT remains a pivotal player in the training and development sector. The blend of historical resilience, ongoing excellence, and future oriented strategies paints a promising picture for EPIT Group as it gears up for another year of leading and learning.

I did compex 01-04. English is not my first language. I got extra support, a bit of extra explonation, extra advice. All of this was super helpful. The instructors were very knowlagable, passionate and well tempered. I failed one of the units but I passed it second time.Posted on GoogleCameron Bowyer18 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I had an excellent experience training with EPIT Aberdeen. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. The facilities and equipment are top-quality, and the training was delivered in a way that was both practical and engaging. Everything was explained thoroughly, with real-world examples that made the content easy to understand and apply. The staff were friendly and supportive throughout, creating a really positive learning environment. I left feeling confident, well-prepared, and genuinely impressed with the standard of training.

Done the CompEx Ex01-Ex04 with Mike and Dodd, and they were both excellent! They both broke things down and made them easier to understand, as well as being genuinely good people who you can have a normal conversation and laugh with!Posted on GoogleJohn Soutar11 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
An absolutely brilliant training and test facility that made the dreaded "Compex Refresher" course, a far more enjoyable and beneficial experience. From the great training material to the very knowledgeable instructors, it all helped to teach us about the new practices and standards in Compex and I certainly left knowing more than I did when I walk through the door Monday morning. Thanks to the all staff! 5*Posted on GoogleQuinn MacDonald30 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
