Methane Detection Training & Certification
What will you learn in methane detection training?
Drone methane detectors screen oil and gas facilities, pipelines and landfills for leaks from the air (see SPH Engineering’s methane detection page). HobiTech sells the systems in our methane detection collection. The training covers:
- Self-study: Methane Leak Detection Using Drone — the full workflow, from hardware setup to data interpretation, using the Laser Falcon methane detector.
- Trainer-led: Methane Leak Detection using Drones — mounting the methane detector on a drone, configuring survey parameters, planning methane detection missions and a practical field exercise (or remote support).
Methane detection missions are planned in UgCS, so the UgCS courses are listed here too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who runs the methane detection training?
The courses and exams are delivered by SPH Engineering, the company behind UgCS and the Integrated Systems survey payloads. HobiTech coordinates enrolment for customers in India.
Which methane detector does the training use?
Both courses are built around the Laser Falcon methane detector.
How does the self-study methane course work?
After payment, the course is unlocked for your account on the SPH Engineering Academy platform, and you can finish it at your own pace.
What does the trainer-led methane course cover?
Mounting the methane detector on a drone, configuring survey parameters, planning methane detection missions, and a practical field exercise or remote support.
How do I get certified in methane detection?
Take the methane detector practical exam. It tests hands-on skills in gathering, processing and understanding methane leak detection data. Each practical exam is unlocked on the SPH Engineering Academy platform after payment and can be completed at your own pace. After passing, you receive a certificate from SPH Engineering that can be shared on LinkedIn.
