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.
