Beyond the classroom

The work gives
the learning depth.

Ahmed’s career has taken him into the environments his learners work in: industrial sites, energy operations, onshore workplaces, offshore installations and vessels.

Training, assessing people and inspecting lifting equipment have given him a practical understanding of how technical requirements meet real conditions. That experience shapes the questions he asks and the way he explains a decision.

01 / People

Training and assessment.

Experience delivering training and assessing crane operators, riggers, lifting supervisors and Appointed Persons for Lifting Operations. Teaching connects technical principles with the responsibilities of each role.

02 / Equipment

Inspection and understanding.

Inspection of a wide range of lifting equipment and working environments. Practical exposure to equipment condition, intended use and operational constraints brings context to the learning.

03 / Environment

Onshore. Offshore. Aboard.

Site-based and vessel-based training, including work in the energy industry. The equipment, setting, people and conditions all influence how a task must be considered.

Developing the people who teach

From delivering training
to building its foundations.

Ahmed’s work also includes developing the programmes, departments and instructors that make learning possible.

His career includes establishing DNV’s THInK training hub and Select Training’s technical training department, developing programmes and mentoring instructors. A background in Mining and Metallurgical Engineering supports his technical approach.

At i Train Hub, he brings those experiences together as founder, subject matter expert and trainer. His focus is an organisation where expertise can be shared, other instructors can contribute and learners can carry their knowledge into their own teams.
