Education & Training – COVID-19 response

Due to the escalating concerns regarding COVID-19 coronavirus, we are canceling or postponing all upstream training courses globally until April 30, both in our public classrooms and in your offices, to protect the health of clients, colleagues, and the global community.

We are investigating virtual delivery options that can continue to help support your needs. We will be in touch once the options are available. We greatly value your business and we continue to seek ways to effectively work with you through this global health crisis.

Please reach out to our training enablement team - energy.training@ihsmarkit.com to discuss your training needs or contact customer support for individual software support questions.
