Composed of logical combinations of courses, each program provides an opportunity to bring technical professionals up to a competent level of knowledge in a minimum period of time.

These programs are recommended for personnel from developing countries whose effective participation in their oil and gas industries will be needed without delay. They provide convenient and effective solutions for fulfilling contractual training obligations connected to Production Sharing Contracts. Due to the demanding nature of these extremely concentrated programs, we will allow the curriculum to be segmented and taken over two or three years.

In addition to program participants, other U.S. and international students attend the program courses, which provide a network environment for learning. All sessions are conducted at the PetroSkills training center in Houston, Texas. Located in the south-central United States, Houston is the world's leading petroleum industry center and offers a warm climate, friendly people, and a wide variety of cultural, historical, and special events. Course schedules allow for free days to enjoy field trips or tourism. A training coordinator is available to assist with lodging, banking, and personal matters.

Tuition fees for the Integrated Certificate Programs do not include lodging, meals, and transportation for the participant. Shipment of training materials to the home country is also the responsibility of the participant.
