Developing high-voltage specialists for real project conditions

Reynard Academy trains, assesses and prepares high-voltage specialists for the realities of onshore and offshore cable projects. In high voltage, competence is not proven by a certificate alone. It is proven through safe working methods, clean execution, correct tooling, project-specific preparation and the ability to perform under real site conditions. That is why Reynard Academy combines modern learning, hands-on practical training, skills assessments, trade tests and safety awareness into one clear development pathway. Our goal is simple: to raise the standard of high-voltage work by developing specialists who can work safely, consistently and professionally on critical infrastructure projects.

Trade Tests

Project-specific preparation before specialists mobilise to site. Trade Tests help ensure that jointers are familiar with the actual cable systems, accessories, tooling, procedures and quality expectations of an upcoming project. Each Trade Test includes practical familiarisation with project-specific materials and methods, followed by competency demonstration under assessment conditions. Successful participants may receive a Reynard project-specific certificate for the relevant termination or project scope.

NEN 3840 Training

High-voltage safety training tailored to Reynard’s worksite standards. This training is based on the Dutch NEN 3840 standard, but goes further by translating the standard into Reynard’s daily work practices, project conditions and safety expectations. Participants learn how to recognise risks, understand responsibilities, apply safe working procedures and meet the level of safety expected from Reynard specialists. Dutch standard as the foundation. Reynard standards as the daily practice.

More than a certificate

The high-voltage industry does not simply need more certificates. It needs competent specialists who can work safely, consistently and professionally on critical infrastructure projects. Reynard Academy is built around that belief. Our long-term goal is to create a complete competency development pathway that connects training, assessment, mentorship, practical experience, innovation and project preparation. By working closely with experienced jointers, trainers, project teams, contractors, OEMs and industry partners, Reynard Academy keeps its programs aligned with real project requirements and actual worksite practice. This helps develop the workforce needed for offshore wind, grid expansion and the energy transition.
