| In addition to managing these programs, Nautilus has a proven track
record of developing and delivering bespoke in-house training courses. Nautilus
launched the GTA in the UK in 1998 with 6 member companies and an audience
of 450 geoscientists. We set up our US operation in 2001 and now have more than 50 members internationally and an audience exceeding 5000, with new companies
joining on a regular basis.
Our clients range from the smallest independents through to super majors. Here’s
why we think it has been so successful, and why we think that success will continue. |

The GTA is focused on quality
- The Nautilus philosophy
is top-class tutors, top-class content, top-class manuals
- Nautilus geoscience training has a world-leading combination of choice and reliability. There are over 100 different course titles in geoscience, of which nearly 50 are field classes. More than 99% of scheduled classes take place: the cancellation rate is less than 1%
- Geoscientists learn best and learn more in the field. The GTA has a much higher
proportion of field classes in the program than other training companies
- 98% of participants on our courses report their training needs were met and 97% would recommend the class to a colleague
- Nautilus is totally focused on training. Its attention is not diluted by other
commitments
- New courses and new material are added to the program
each year as the needs of member companies change
The GTA is a partnership
- Nautilus consults with member companies in proposing the training program,
giving members a say in what goes on the timetable
- Member companies may nominate or provide tutors. This ensures that the best
tutor possible teaches each course, and gives members access to expertise within other companies
that could otherwise be denied to them
- Training courses use case-study material provided by the member companies
The GTA is a consortium and benefits from collective buying power
- As the GTA serves in the more than 5000 geoscientists, we can run courses that
would not be sustainable for individual companies, even large ones
The GTA is a commitment, for the member companies and for Nautilus
- The GTA contract runs on a cycle of three three to five years, allowing Nautilus to focus on developing
tutors and courses and minimizing the time spent on marketing
- This cycle allows members to plan their training budgets more accurately
and to minimize their own administration costs
The GTA is not an exclusive commitment: the flexibility of the GTA concept allows members
to use other course providers in a complementary manner according to their own needs. If you would like
