Opening its doors in September 2016, the centre of excellence will become the largest technical training centre in Oman. It will combine theory with practical application across a number of disciplines with an aim to train Oman’s energy and energy-related workforce to international standards.
Based on a two year programme, the centre will initially take 500 students per year, with the ability to expand to 1,000 in the future. Training will focus on both up and downstream disciplines of the oil and gas industry in a curriculum which will cover operational, mechanical, instrumentation and electrical skills, technical HSE, English Language and generic soft skills, such as project management.
