directly into the heart of global finance, global creative and professional services,
global media and global talent. They enjoy access to world-class science and
academia and link into a wide network of smaller enterprises, many of
which are also world leaders in their fields.

A unique multicultural and entrepreneurial economy, the UK is at the hub of

international business, bringing the world to a company's door. In short, it is the
gateway to the globe.

You too can be at the heart of this global crossroads. Start by talking

INTRODUCTION
WELCOME TO THE GUIDE ON EDUCATION AND TRAINING
FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM FOR THE INTERNATIONAL OIL
AND GAS INDUSTRY. THIS REFERENCE TOOL GIVES YOU
IMMEDIATE INFORMATION ABOUT AND CONTACT DETAILS OF
SOME OF THE UNITED KINGDOM FINEST PROVIDERS OF
TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
The United Kingdom's capability in this
important area has already been
established, tested and perfected over
several decades of impressive and
profitable exploration and production of
the North Sea oil and gas reserves.
Many challenges have been overcome
through the efficiency of well trained
craft workers, technicians, support
personnel, engineers and managers. The
United Kingdom business and
educational sectors reacted to demand
by equipping industry workers with the
qualifications and skills training needed
to deal with complex commercial,
technological and management matters.
Universities, institutions and training
providers in the United Kingdom offer a
very broad range of courses that can
often be adapted to meet the specific
needs of national and international
operators, service companies,
government and non-government
institutions and organisations. Usually
the courses are given locally, but
blended learning is increasingly and
frequently used to help offset
operational or budgetary constraints.
Promoting competence in health and
safety in the oil and gas industry is a
priority the world over. As one of the
best regulated working environments
in the world, the United Kingdom has
developed and now offers a highly
sophisticated range of training
programmes and competence
assessment methods in health, safety,
environmental management, survival
and management of emergencies
among many others.
The United Kingdom's oil and gas
industry has traditionally worked very
closely with the education and training
2 3
sector to ensure that the courses cover
all the levels of training necessary,
including basic, technical and
professional skills, education at
undergraduate and postgraduate levels,
as well as specialised, short courses.
Some of the main universities and
institutions have established business
training programmes for clients in
most of the major producing basins in
Northern Europe, the Middle East,
West and North Africa, South America
and the Far East.
The institutions listed here are
committed to providing their services
that meet the individual needs of clients;
therefore this guide will be of immediate
use to those who have responsibility for
the development of a competent,
professional and safe workforce.
It is the intention of the British
Council and UK Trade and Investment
that this document should continue to
be developed as a useful resource.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
FOR THE OIL AND GAS
INDUSTRY
After almost 30 years of exploration
and production in one of the planet's
most hostile environments, the United
Kingdom's oil and gas industry has
rightly won worldwide respect for its
achievements, pioneering technologies,
good management practices and
particularly its high operations, safety,
health and environmental standards.
The UK oil and gas sector's rapid
growth through the 70’s and 80’s
required a rapid expansion in the
supply of trained personnel. A
specialised network of education and
training institutions developed to meet
the needs of companies operating in
the North Sea, resulting in enhanced
provision of skilled manpower,
improved safety standards and
increased productivity in operations.
The UK offers high-quality, specialised
training delivered in centres ranging
from small private training providers to
colleges and universities offering
sophisticated equipment and research
tools. Distance and blended learning
options have enabled the UK training
experience to be exported to the
world's leading oil centres. The United
Kingdom's experience can help to
develop training that is better aligned
to the needs of the oil and gas
industry in your operations sphere, and
achieve international excellence in the
following areas:
■ Petroleum Engineering
■ Offshore Prospecting and
Production Engineering
■ Reservoir Management
■ Drilling Engineering
■ Ocean Technology
■ Maintenance and Repair
■ Project Management
■ Environment Engineering
■ Environment Management
■ Health & Safety Training
■ Fire Fighting Training

SCHOLARSHIPS PROGRAMME
THE CHEVENING
THE CHEVENING SCHOLARSHIPS PROGRAMME
The Chevening scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), and
managed by the British Council, the United Kingdom's international organisation for educational
opportunities and cultural relations, is one of the most important scholarship programmes in the world.
The programme offers an excellent opportunity for international future leaders and promising young
professionals, to study in renowned British universities.
The prestigious Chevening scholarships
are offered in over 150 countries and
in 2006/07 they enabled 1838 talented
graduates and young professionals to
become familiar with the UK and gain
skills which will benefit their countries.
Chevening scholars study in the UK for
at least 3 months. The majority study
for postgraduate degrees, particularly
Masters courses. However, applications
for shorter vocational or professional
courses as long as they are adequately
challenging and relevant are also
considered. Chevening scholarships can
be used to study most subjects,
however in different countries they
may target a narrower range of
subjects that are especially relevant. In
the past, subject areas have included:
AREAS:
■ Law and human rights
■ Economics and politics
■ International relations
■ Communications, media and
journalism
■ Development and gender studies
■ Business administration
■ Public administration
■ Management
■ Environmental studies
■ Finance and accountancy
■ Science and technology
■ Medicine and health
■ Engineering
■ Computing and information
technology
■ Arts and humanities
■ Sociology and other social sciences
■ Education
■ English language training and
linguistics
■ Transport studies
■ Sports management
62
REQUIREMENTS:
Competition for Chevening
scholarships is intense, and only one in
every 25 applicants is successful. A
typical successful applicant would be:
■ A graduate with proven
academic skills.
■ Committed to return to their
country and contribute to the
socio-economic development of
their country through
implementing new skills and
knowledge acquired in the UK.
■ Be able to show at interview that
they possess the personal qualities
to benefit from their scholarship
and use it to succeed in their
chosen career.
■ Have a clear idea how their
scholarship will benefit their
country on their return.
■ Have good English Language skills
and must have an IELTS of 6.5.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
The Chevening Scholarship Programme
is a truly global programme and
operates in over 150 countries around
the world. As the programme is so
diverse and far-reaching there isn't a
single timetable for applications and
so it is important to check with the
local British Council office for country
deadlines for applications.
Although the timetable for deadlines
may change from country to country the
application process remains the same.
Each country will advertise when they
are inviting applications for Chevening
scholarships and will state their deadline
for applications. Applications will not be
dealt with after the stated date.
THE CHEVENING SCHOLARSHIPS PROGRAMME
Stage 1: Applications are checked
to ensure that the applicant meets
the standard Chevening criteria (see
above under requirements) plus any
other specified local criteria (stated
on the country pages of the
Chevening website and in the
local advertisements).
Stage 2: If an application meets all of
the criteria for the scholarship then
the candidate will be short-listed and
the local office will invite them to
attend an interview.
Stage 3: Candidates will be
interviewed by a panel of
interviewers – normally consisting of

a member of the British Embassy or
High Commission and a member of
the British Council.
Stage 4: As the competition for
scholarships is intense and funds
limited, it is not possible to recommend SCHOLARSHIP AMOUNT
