The Centre’s computer-based training (CBT) Introduction to the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry provides the insight and knowledge needed to help navigate Guyana’s emerging offshore oil and gas industry. The training was designed specifically to develop and educate local businesses on offshore oil and gas.
What is Computer-based Training?
To provide easier access to more businesses across Guyana, the Centre tailored its successful in-person Introduction to the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry Seminar into an online course. Jointly produced with experts from ExxonMobil, this online training course introduces local businesses to the ins and outs of the offshore industry.

Format of the Computer Based Training
The training is open access and available free of charge through an online platform. Users can easily log in from any laptop or computer with internet access. In addition, it is also available via mobile phones through the BrainCentral app for Android or iPhone. Six video sections review the various phases of an offshore oil and gas project, with the last section focused on offshore projects in Guyana. Dr Natasha Gaskin-Peters, a leading local expert and the Centre’s Deputy Director, leads participants through the videos. Participants can take the training at their own pace, but the six video sections need to be viewed sequentially until they have been completed.
