Oil and Gas

Competence in Energy

Oil and gas are the life blood of the economy – not just in Scotland but worldwide.

It is a demanding industry to work in and it is vital that everyone in the workforce is fully competent, and can prove their competence.

As Scotland’s national accreditation and awarding body, we are specialists in the development of qualifications and assessments.

We have worked closely with the industry to develop a portfolio of awards that are robust and yet flexible – developing qualifications to cover the core business areas of the Upstream and Downstream oil and gas industry.

We can also offer a Customised Awards service to create a qualification tailored to your company’s exact needs, but with the benefit of first class quality assurance and certification from a globally recognised Awarding Body.
