This ten-day program, offered through our partnership with Enform, is a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on experience in an actual oil battery and gas plant. The course is designed to give basic field terminology and operations instruction to those who wish to begin a career in the petroleum industry and have no work experience in the field. It is also excellent for summer students.
