Oil and gas industry training from expert-level instructors
TOP Energy Training provides efficient and cost-effective online education designed to meet the needs of industry professionals, regardless of their experience level.
Learners receive up-to-date instruction from oil and gas industry experts and course curricula developed by leading universities.
In addition, faculty members from numerous universities are featured in each course to provide students with their depth of knowledge and experience. Industry, environmental, government, and legal professionals also lend their perspectives and experience to each course.
Continually evolving education for a rapidly changing industry
TOP Energy Training was created to provide industry professionals with the education and tools they need to bridge the knowledge gap between oil and gas inspectors and operators in North America. Expert-level instructors and professional educators continually update the curriculum to match rapid changes in the industry and keep learners up to date.
Rolling out its first curriculum in 2013, TOP Energy Training has delivered over 52,000 hours of technical instruction to U.S. and Canadian professionals from 37 local, state, provincial, and federal agencies.
Break through silos and gain operational confidence
TOP Energy Training learners are provided with the knowledge and common language to help them overcome communication and conceptual barriers.
Regardless of whether they have technical backgrounds, learners develop the tools needed to collaborate with colleagues at all levels within the oil and gas industry, without the time or financial commitment of obtaining an advanced higher education degree.
Affordable, flexible, online education for industry professionals at all levels
TOP Energy Training students and learners have varied backgrounds and levels of experience, but the one thing they all have in common is the desire to broaden their subject matter expertise and expand their working knowledge and vocabulary of cutting-edge oil and gas industry issues and trends.
Every TOP Energy Training course and lesson is delivered online, at the learner’s convenience. Most courses offer individual lessons that appeal to a broad range of technical and non-technical professionals.
Each lesson concludes with an optional self-assessment to help learners reinforce and assess their learning. For learners completing TOP Energy courses, these self-assessments help them prepare to pass the final course assessment, and thus, receive a certificate of course completion.
