    Course Overview

    This graduate certificate will equip you with the necessary skills to enhance your career in the onshore and offshore oil and gas industry. Upon completion of this program, graduates will have understanding of fundamental and some advanced knowledge in a range of engineering sub-disciplines to investigate, interpret, solve problems, manage and lead projects.

    Program Details

    Graduates will gain an understanding of fundamental and some advanced knowledge in a range of engineering sub-disciplines to investigate, interpret, solve problems, manage and lead projects.

    Furthermore, graduates will be able to identify, critically analyse and creatively solve intellectually complex, specialised professional engineering problems in industrial and instrumentation process, analyse functional safety lifecycle management in accordance with relevant standards.

    You must complete 12 credit points comprising four core units. There are no electives in this program. The program duration is six months across two terms, and you will study two units per term. For further study, graduates may consider EIT’s Master of Engineering (Electrical & Instrumentation in Oil & Gas).

    Unit Code Subjects Credit Points
    MOG501 Introduction to Oil and Gas 3
    MOG502 Instrument Engineering 3
    MOG503 Process Control Systems 3
    MOG505 E&I Design 3

    Applicants are required to:

    • Hold a recognized bachelor degree (or above) in engineering or science in a congruent field of practice*,
    • Have completed the equivalent of first-year Bachelor level mathematics, or are able to demonstrate recognized relevant work experience.
    • Have an appropriate level of English Language Proficiency at an English pass level in an Australian Senior Certificate of Education, or an IELTS score of 6.0 (with no individual band less than 6.0)**, or equivalent as outlined in the EIT Admissions Policy.

    Applicants who do not hold a recognized bachelor’s degree are required to demonstrate their prior learning and experience is equivalent to this qualification. A minimum of an Australian Advanced Diploma (or equivalent) in Engineering and 5 years of technical work experience at a technologist level or above in a relevant engineering field is required for an application to be considered (exact positions and roles that will be considered relevant are to be decided by each specialization and will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the EIT Admissions Committee) ***

    Please note:

    1. All applicants must have evidence of engineering exposure in their degree and/or work experience
    2. All applications will be assessed on a case-by-case basis
    3. Please check the Documentation Guidelines for your application.

    * Congruent field of practice means one of the following with adequate Railway Infrastructure content (fields not listed below to be considered by the Dean and the Admissions Committee on a case-by-case basis):

    • Electronic and Communication Systems
    • Instrumentation, Control, and Automation
    • Industrial Automation

    Like all Australian higher education providers and universities, EIT programs are accredited by the exacting standards of the Australian Government’s Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). This Graduate Certificate is a formally recognized qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework.

    Find out more about country-specific accreditation and professional recognition.

    Potential job roles include engineering and management positions in the following areas of expertise:

    • Project Engineer
    • Senior Production Engineer
    • Oil & Gas Engineer
    • Reservoir Engineer

    You are expected to spend approximately 10-15 hours per week attending live webinars, learning the program material and completing assessments. This includes attending weekly webinars that run for about 60 minutes to facilitate class discussion and allow you to ask questions. This program has a 70% attendance requirement in the live webinars in order to graduate from the program. If you are unable to attend the live webinars, you have the option of watching the recording of completed webinars and sending a summary of what you have learnt from the webinar to the Learning Support officer. The summaries go towards your attendance requirement for the program.

    This program is run online on an intensive part-time basis and has been designed to fit around full-time work. It will take 6 months to complete.

    EIT understands that sometimes work commitments and personal circumstances can get in the way of your studies, so if at any point you feel that you are struggling with the pace of the course or finding a particular module challenging, you are encouraged to contact your designated Learning Support Officer for assistance.

    Applications are open for both our upcoming intakes. You must submit your application at least four weeks prior to the start date to be considered for your desired intake.

    A census date is the date at which an enrolment is considered to be final. Any withdrawal you make after the study period census date will incur an academic penalty (for example, a fail grade) and a financial penalty (for example, no refund of your student contribution or tuition fees). See our current census dates.

    Any student has a right to appeal a decision of the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) or any member of the institute’s staff. EIT has a comprehensive Policy on Appeals and Grievances to assist students.

      The delivery methodology and the information available in the e-library can’t be beaten. The other important aspect of online education is recorded lectures. You can review the tutorial and lessons on repeat when you need to understand the concept.

      What I liked most about the course and EIT is the flexibility is offered regarding education. It gave me the opportunity to study and work full-time.  
    C Groenewald, South Africa
      I enjoyed interacting with students all around the world, and seeing how the principles I have learned applies to them as well.  
    S Zeelie, South Africa
      My line of work requires me travel quite often. I could not attend every class due to my remote locations, but still I could recap and stay on top of the study material thanks to the recordings. Also, all the Instructors were world class.
