We train the people who run the region.
For 25 years Tristar has trained the people who run MENA's energy, power and industrial operations — across Egypt, the UAE, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria and the wider region. From standard certification courses to fully bespoke nationalisation programmes, across every technical, operational and corporate discipline.
