"I recently had the privilege of attending, “Introduction to the Petroleum Industry”. As a new employee of the Oil & Gas Magazine, I needed to quickly and efficiently learn the jargon of the energy industry and find out what's going on here! Taking this course gave me SO much knowledge on the Offshore / Onshore Petroleum Industry: History, Jargon, Current Projects, and an entire overview of the industry. Now I have the confidence to talk about Oil & Gas in my everyday conversations with clients and at networking events. I am so thrilled I completed this course. Phonse is a great teacher and I never once lost interest in any topic during the course. Everything was interesting and the course had a great flow. Anyone who is curious to learn more about the Petroleum industry should take this course!"
