It is an estate of various blocks of offices, residentials, workshops, laboratories etc errected by SPDC to meet all its training needs, although some courses/trainings are done abroad. Recently the meaning has been restricted to the accommodationpart of the training, its wider name for all training is SALH ( Shell Africa Learning Hub) for the approval it got to administer the training need of anglo-africa shell companies.
