This programme is consists of 4 Level:
GPOTP Level A Production Field Operations
GPOTP Level B Production Field Operations
GPOTP Level C Production Field Operations
GPOTP Level D Production Field Operations
The Production Field Operations program covers technical knowledge about field production, field operations and process operations.
Upon completion of this four-level certificate program, new entrants in the oil and gas industry (upstream) will be able to work in field operations as entry-level field operators. You have up to five years to complete this program.
