Programme Details

There is an opportunity for Electrical and Instrumentation (E & I) technicians, technologists, and engineers in the oil and gas industry . This is due to an increasing need for higher technology methods of obtaining and processing oil and gas as it is a finite declining resource. The technical challenges of extracting oil and gas are becoming ever more demanding, with the increasing emphasis on more marginal fields and previously inaccessible zones such as deep oceans, Polar regions, Falkland Islands and Greenland.

This advanced diploma provides a practical treatment of electrical power systems and instrumentation within the oil, gas, petrochemical, and offshore industries . You will find this course beneficial in improving your understanding, skills, and knowledge of the whole spectrum of activities ranging from basic E & I engineering to advanced practice including hazardous areas, data communications along with a vast array of E & I equipment used in an oil and gas environment .

How Does it Work?

EIT's online learning courses involve a combination of live, interactive sessions over the Internet with a professional lecturer, set readings, and assignments. The courses include simulation software and remote laboratory applications to let you put theory to practice. You will also receive ongoing support from a dedicated Learning Support Officer.

Practical Exercises and Remote Laboratories

As part of the groundbreaking new way of teaching, our online engineering courses use a series of remote laboratories (labs) and simulation software, to facilitate your learning and to test the knowledge you gain during your course. These involve complete working labs set up at various locations of the world into which you will be able to log in to proceed through the various practical assessments.

These are supplemented by simulation software, running either remotely or on your computer, to ensure you gain the requisite hands-on experience. The labs and simulation software is designed to increase the absorption of the materials and to give you a practical orientation of the learning experience. All this will ensure you obtain maximum benefit from this course.

Benefits of online learning to students

• Cost-effective : no travel or accommodation necessary
• Interactive : live, interactive sessions let you communicate with your instructor and fellow students
• Flexible : short interactive sessions over the Internet which you can attend from your home or office. Learn while you earn!
• Practical : perform exercises by remotely accessing our labs and simulation software
• Expert instructors : instructors have extensive industry experience; they are not just 'academics'
• No geographical limits : learn from any location, all you need is an Internet connection
• Constant support : from your instructor(s) and a dedicated Learning Support Officer for the complete duration of the course
• International insight : interact and network with participants from around the globe and gain valuable insight into international practice

Benefits of online learning to employers

• Lower training costs : no travel or accommodation necessary
• Less downtime : short webinars (60-90 minutes) and flexible training methods means less time away from work
• Retain employees : keep staff who may be considering a qualification as a full-time study
• Increase efficiency : improve your engineering or technical employees’ skills and knowledge
• International insight : students will have access to internationally based professional instructors and students
