Black Cat Insulation Technical JSC

Black Cat is a key supplier to the Indochina oil and gas and industrial sectors providing and installing insulation, protective coatings and passive fire protection systems via scaffolding. The company employs around 200 people in Vietnam.

The challenge

Current skills training in Vietnam adheres to local standards but Black Cat recognised a huge opportunity to bring skills and competencies in line with the highest UK standards. As well as upskilling and improving the competencies of its own employees, Black Cat wanted to establish a new training centre of excellence for the Indochina region where people could be trained to internationally-recognised standards.

Our solution

From initial concept to finished, world-class, industry-approved centre, 3t Training Solutions provided advice, guidance and practical support to Black Cat to bring its idea of creating a training centre of excellence to life and turn it into a fully operational, profitable business with huge potential for future growth.

The state-of-the-art centre, which is accredited by global scaffolding body CISRS, offers a raft of internationally-recognised scaffolding and insulation courses and uses cutting-edge technology to streamline internal operations and manage delegates’ training. Since opening in October 2017, the centre has proved overwhelming successful attracting hundreds of delegates from across Indochina.

The result

Man Xuan Le, director at Black Cat, said:3t Training Solutions worked with us on everything from the design of the centre and providing skilled instructors to training our own trainers and carrying out intensive audits to guarantee our successful CISRS accreditation. 3t also installed and integrated its sophisticated TMS and CMS software systems to give our customers instant access to online course bookings and management of skills records and training information. These systems streamlined our internal processes and ensured maximum efficiencies across the business.

We now have an extremely successful, leading-edge training centre which is helping to raise scaffolding and insulation standards across Indochina and operating as a profitable business.
