Each module will consist of one or more Workbooks, and a “Guide to Open Learning”.
No commitment to enrolling for the complete Petroleum Processing Technology Series is required at any time although each candidate must register for each module. Modules are non-transferrable and can only be assigned to one candidate.
Each module (detailed above) may be assessed by examination and an individual certificate endorsed by City and Guilds awarded to successful candidates.
Each exam which is passed successfully will contribute to one Certificate of Unit Credit towards The Certificate in Petroleum Processing Technology. The Certificate will be awarded after all 10 Certificates of Unit Credit have been accumulated
