We maintain several OPITO certifications, with the first one dating back to 2006 and are now accredited to train up to VQ3 / SCQF-7 level.

Oil & Gas Processing

Introduction to Oil & Gas Processing

The OPITO Global Foundation Training Certificate in Introduction to Oil and Gas Processing provides an introduction to the basic principles of oil and gas processing operations.

As well as providing an introduction to how the oil and gas industry operates, Candidates will develop knowledge of safe working practices, the plant/equipment that is used in processing operations and how to use processing drawings.

The Training Certificate is designed for Candidates with either very little or no prior experience of a processing workshop environment. It would be suitable for individuals wishing to progress to a career as a Process Technician and also for individuals who would like an overview of processing operations.

This Training Certificate is at Oil and Gas Foundation Level. This is broadly comparable to training at SCQF level 3, QCF at entry level and EQF at level 1.

On successful completion of the Training Certificate, Candidates can progress to the OPITO Global 1 Training Certificate: Basic Oil and Gas Processing.
