For the first time, workers anywhere in the world will be able to work towards vocational qualifications which will be recognised by the global oil and gas industry.

Training standards body, OPITO International, has developed global technical standards and a qualifications framework which will help meet current and future skills demands in oil and gas and improve competence in the operations and maintenance activities associated with the extraction of hydrocarbons.

Whether a school leaver in Mumbai or an existing offshore worker in Kuala Lumpur, individuals will be able to gain qualifications in processing hydrocarbons, electrical and mechanical maintenance and instrumentation and controls which will be recognised by oil and gas companies the world over.
