METHOD OF DELIVERY
The participants are first taught the knowledge and preparation required to work in the oil and gas service industry from the trainers with working experience in respective areas. The concepts are re-enforced through tutorial and industrial-related case studies.
After acquiring pre-requisite domain and working knowledge in the subject area, the participants are then provided with company-specific customised modules, such as various management systems, tools and hardware knowledge. They also receive on-the-job training through industrial attachment with the host companies.
