Why Choose this Training Course?
Whilst energy companies assess the financial plausibility of alternative and renewable power supplies, traditional energy sources will still be required for the foreseeable future. Do not be distracted by social and political fashions but be certain that your knowledge of well-established and sustainable energy sources is current and complete.

As storage facilities release crude oil back onto the market there will be a surge of tanker business and freight rates will inevitably rise as a consequence. Do not be left behind as the oil industry returns to prosperity.
