Modern Apprenticeship Scheme
The Upstream Technician Training Scheme is the oil and gas industry’s response to the need for a competent, stable and flexible technician workforce to meet its current and future needs.
The training programme is comprised of two stages:
- 21 months during which trainees attend an industry appointed college
- Two years on-the-job training with a sponsoring company, being mentored and working alongside experienced staff to gain job specific skills
It is managed by OPITO in partnership with the ECITB.
