tooling tech training

Guys,
Made a rod for my own back last trip.
Had a trainee, decent guy, keen as mustard!, and I suggested that with his trade background, he should look at tooling as a way forward as he was struggling to get days offshore.
Thought the easiest thing in the world would be for him to get a start onshore working up gear, but he has been twice asked "what training courses he has completed?".
Apart from Subnet I cant find any tooling "courses", anybody got any pointers?.

Maybe someday Ill learn to "keep my trap shut"!!!!!
