How We Help the IndustryTHE OPPORTUNITY

Anyone working in or with the oil and gas industry can make a greater contribution if they know more about the industry than just their immediate job duties.

A broader perspective will help industry participants better: Understand the importance and impact of their roles Communicate with and support other functions Represent their company with partners, customers and suppliers Understand economic drivers and business decisions Keep pace with industry issues and developments

THE PROBLEMThe oil and gas industry is so broad and complicated that on-the-job training usually doesn’t go far enough or fast enough.

OUR SOLUTIONOur courses will deliver a career-lasting perspective in just 1-3 days. We thoroughly cover industry fundamentals and our 2 and 3 day courses go well beyond. We use expert instructors with small groups aided by a combination of slides, video, graphics, photos, maps, animation and physical samples that together present a uniquely comprehensive and cohesive view of the industry.

OUR GUARANTEEWe will refund 100% of your course fees if you feel a better course exists or if we otherwise fail to deliver the value you expect.
