Program Tracks
The PetroTech Program offers multiple training paths tailored to your background and career goals:
Full Certification Track
This comprehensive track provides training across all major sectors of the oil and natural gas industry, including:
- Geology Technician
- Land Technician
- Engineering Technician
- Data Analysis
Ideal for individuals seeking a well-rounded understanding of the industry, this track prepares you for a wide range of technical roles.
Mini-Certification Option
If you prefer to specialize in just one area, such as Geology, Land, Engineering, or Data Analysis, you can pursue a mini-certification focused on a single technician role.
Two pathways are available:
- Industry Professional Track
Designed for individuals already working in oil and gas. Introductory courses may be waived based on prior experience. - New-to-Industry Track
Intended for those new to the field. This option includes foundational courses to build the knowledge needed for success.
Single Course Enrollment
Looking to sharpen your skills without committing to a full certification?
You can enroll in individual courses to expand your expertise in specific areas of the industry.
