- An EIT Advanced Diploma in E & I Engineering for Oil and Gas
Introduction
There are excellent opportunities for employment in the oil, chemical, gas and related industries due to the growing shortage of instrumentation / electrical (E&I) technicians, technologists and engineers . This is mainly due to the resumption of growth in these industries, the increasing need for higher technology methods of obtaining and processing oil and gas along with the retirement of the current ‘baby-boomer’ generation of engineers, technologists and technicians. Unfortunately (or perhaps, fortunately for everyone working in these industries), as it is a finite declining resource, the price of oil is heading upwards steadily, thus making personnel and their associated oil and gas expertise in these industries even more valuable. The technical challenges of extracting oil and gas are becoming ever more demanding, with increasing emphasis on more marginal fields and previously inaccessible zones such as deep oceans, polar regions, Falkland Islands and Greenland.
However the tricky part is knowing which Electrical and Instrumentation (E &I) courses to study in order to achieve practical know-how along with applicable theory and expertise necessary to:
- Obtain a position as an E&I Technician Designer or Technologist in the industry.
- Move from being a graduate engineer with a theoretical knowledge to a useful and productive E & I engineer.
- Making you a valuable and indispensable member of a company’s E&I team.
- Grow your career with a more satisfying, extremely varied and responsible position.
- We believe this course offers these benefits.
You may be a tradesperson who has just finished an apprenticeship or a mature age professional working at odd locations around the world and because of your financial or personal circumstances are not in a position to give up two years of your working life attending a full time program at a university or college. Of course there is a further constraint in that good E&I courses are hard to find and when they are available locally the lecturers are sometimes not really cognisant with the oil and gas industry beyond a vague theoretical background. You would probably be aware now, that there are very few colleges and universities worldwide that cover the necessary practically based subjects for the oil and gas industries. Let’s face it those people in the industry who are any good will be earning the better salaries offered rather than those that educational institutions can afford to pay. As a student you are likely to be looking to obtain real value for your money and this can only be achieved with genuinely accredited courses which utilise outstanding oil and gas industry experienced instructors.
We solve this challenge from five perspectives by;
- Using outstanding E&I oil and gas engineers and instructors working in the industry.
- Gather excellent practical course materials along with useful industry applicable theory with a strong focus on oil and gas.
- Use state-of-the-art live instructor-led e-learning presentations to present and interact, no matter where you are in the world.
- We use our marketing and contacts to gather an outstanding group of students who are keen and enthusiastic to “to feed off each other”.
- Squeeze the costs down using the latest internet, online and publishing technologies to ensure you get the best value for money (outstanding number of contact hours, high quality experienced instructors, superb course materials)
This advanced diploma course provides a practical treatment of electrical power systems and instrumentation within the oil, gas, petrochemical and offshore industries. Whilst there is some theory this is used in a practical context giving you the necessary tools to ensure that the Electrical and Instrumentation hardware is delivering the results intended.
No matter whether you are a new electrical, instrumentation or control technician/technologist/graduate engineer or indeed, even a practising facilities engineer, you will find this course beneficial in improving your understanding, skills and knowledge of the whole spectrum of activities ranging from basic electrical and instrumentation engineering to advanced practice including hazardous areas, data communications along with a vast array of E&I equipment utilised in an oil and gas environment.
We also highlight the “applicable theory” aspect of our program because we are very aware of the need to ensure that you will use what you learn when out in the real oil and gas world.
Another important aspect to note is that the module content is constantly evolving, taking into account the latest developments as they occur. Thus there is no recycled material which is out of date and your precious time is used efficiently and productively.
Through the use of problem solving- both on a team or individual basis and simulation software and live remote labs you will learn about the key technologies and best practice.
You will gain solid coherent knowledge of International Best Practice in an oil and gas environment.
Course Content
The valuable oil and gas course has five main streams:
- Electrical engineering
- Instrumentation and Control engineering
