West Group Prime represents a new generation of professional training, allowing students and companies to experience highly realistic operational scenarios with complete safety and a high level of immersion. Through virtual reality, participants can simulate critical operations, emergency procedures, and work routines in complex environments, such as offshore platforms and industrial facilities.

This technology provides greater knowledge retention, practical training without exposure to real risks and standardization of learning processes.

In addition to modernizing technical training, West Group Prime also reduces operating costs, optimizes training time, and expands access to experiences that, in many cases, would be difficult to reproduce in traditional environments.

With this initiative, West Group reaffirms its commitment to innovation, safety and excellence in the training of professionals for the energy and oil industry.

Angola represents a strategic market for the expansion of these solutions, and we are excited about the opportunities to contribute to the development of highly qualified professionals in the country.

The Oil & Gas sector in the country continues to expand, driven by new projects, revitalization of mature fields and increased demand for local content. This movement requires trained professionals, certified and aligned with international safety and performance standards.

It is exactly at this point that the opportunity arises.

Opportunity for those who want to enter the market

Many young people and professionals in career transition have potential, but lack technical guidance and adequate preparation. West Group acts as a bridge between the dream and employability, offering:

• Structured technical training
• Recognized certifications
• Training focused on operational reality
• Development of discipline and professional mindset
• The market is not only looking for candidates. Look for ready-made professionals.
• Opportunity for those who are already in the sector

For those who already work in the industry, continuous qualification is no longer a differential – it has become a requirement. New norms, new technologies and increasingly stringent standards require constant updating.

Becoming qualified means:

• Increase competitiveness
• Improve salary positioning
• Be Eligible for Promotions
• Staying relevant in a technical and demanding market

Opportunity for companies

Companies operating in Angola need to strengthen their local workforce with quality and standardization. Structured technical training reduces operational risks, increases productivity, and strengthens the safety culture.

Investing in training is investing in operational sustainability.

The moment is strategic.
Angola grows. The energy sector is advancing. The demand for qualified professionals increases.

The question is not whether there will be opportunities.
The question is: who will be prepared to occupy them?

West Group is here to prepare this new generation of professionals.

Angola is one of the most promising economies in Africa in the energy segment. With consolidated offshore operations and new development fronts underway, the country is experiencing a decisive moment of strengthening its technical and specialized workforce. West Group arrives to contribute directly to this evolution.

Welcome to a new era of professional training in Angola.

MontiPower, original manufacturer since 1987, is recognized worldwide for developing innovative and efficient solutions. During the visit, the equipment that is now part of the practice of our Industrial Painting course was presented, such as:

Electric Bristle Blaster® Ultimate – Removes corrosion and generates anchor profile accurately.

Electric MBX® – Removes rust, paint, sealants and coatings with ease.

Abrasive belts and accessories – Complete system for surface preparation with high performance, safety and economy.

The equipment underwent a careful quality test, conducted by our CEO, Luciano Barros, and by the Executive Director of CEBRAPI CERTIFICADORA BRASILEIRA DE PROFISSIONALIZAÇÃO, CLEITON MELLO – responsible for the official certification of our Industrial Painting course. The result was approval with excellence! The performance and technology of the equipment have been proven in practice, further reinforcing the credibility and safety of our training.

The Managing Director of MontiPower Brasil – Part of Monti Group, Sebastian Pohlmann, highlighted the importance of this technology for the technical training of professionals in the area of Industrial Painting and guided the correct use of equipment, adding even more value to the student’s experience.

This symbolic and technical delivery of the equipment also celebrated the strengthening of the partnership between West Group, MontiPower Brasil and CEBRAPI, which share the same purpose: to bring qualified, certified education with state-of-the-art technology to the industrial sector.

More than a partnership, this is the beginning of a journey of innovation, safety and excellence. West Group invites other brands that, like MontiPower, believe in the power of technical education, to join us in this mission to transform lives and empower people with the best resources and tools on the market.

West Group – Connecting technology and industrial education.

The scenario required an agile and customized solution. The professionals did not have the CBSP (Basic Platform Safety Course) and spoke exclusively Mandarin. The request was clear: to develop and apply the training in record time, in a hybrid format, and fully adapted to the language of the participants.

Our PMO (Project Management Office) took on the challenge with total dedication. In an integrated effort between the pedagogical, technical and technological areas, we were able to structure the training in a reduced time, without giving up quality and compliance with the standards required for the offshore sector.

The theoretical stage was adapted to Mandarin and made available on our online learning platform. Then, students participate in the practical phase in our units, with the support of specialized translators, ensuring full understanding and security during training.

The first class was successfully held at our unit in Rio de Janeiro. The second is underway at the Macaé unit, and we are already preparing to receive new classes in the coming weeks.

This project is a clear example of West Group’s ability to meet specific demands with agility, innovation and commitment to excellence, always following the needs of the industrial and offshore market.
