Diplomas in International Petroleum Management
The MDT Diploma Programme provides a comprehensive training
programme for those intending to pursue a career in Commercial, Accounting
and/or Management in the International Petroleum Industry. The programme provides for both those with
and those without prior study or experience and so is suitable as a conversion
course for candidates from other disciplines.
On successful completion of the programme, candidates are
awarded the appropriate Diploma in International Petroleum Management in
recognition of their breadth and depth of knowledge and sustained high level of
attainment in their chosen discipline.
