Singapore, Mar 14, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Infocus International Group has announced the new date for Offshore Wind training and it will be commencing live on the 5th of April 2022. A comprehensive online course to one of renewable energy's fastest-growing sectors.
This is a business-focused training seminar designed to provide business developers and investors with an accessible and concise, yet comprehensive understanding of the many facets of these capital-intensive and lengthy projects.

Offshore wind projects are very different from their onshore cousins, both in terms of the components required and the project development and installation processes involved. From turbines and timescales to cabling and costs, the scales are often supersized - with clear economic and practical rationale for this.

This course will lead attendees through the technologies, processes and financial return and risk considerations for those involved in offshore wind project development. Explanations will be provided in clear, business-friendly language accessible to non-engineers. Trends and emerging disruptive technologies, such as floating turbines and integrations with other clean energy solutions, will be introduced and placed into context.

If you need a valuable, up-to-the-minute and independent introduction to the fast-growing offshore wind sector, this online course provides a unique learning opportunity.

Past attendee from ResponsAbility Investments AG commented, "He represents a thoughtful and unbiased view in the realm of renewable energy. His insights are well reasoned, clear and, perhaps most importantly, backed up by hard numbers. Definitely a person I would turn to for guidance in this space."

Course Sessions:

- Developing offshore wind projects
- Constructing offshore wind projects
- Operating & innovating with offshore wind

Among the key points to be addressed:

- Essential offshore wind farm development processes
- How are offshore wind projects constructed?
- Key delivery risks at various stages in a project's life
- Challenges to consider in operating an offshore wind farm
- Key drivers of financing and financial risk & return in offshore wind projects
- Essential policy, technology and market trends to consider in forward planning
