Who Should Attend:
This program has been designed for non-technical personnel assigned to positions in petroleum refineries, corporate offices, and supplier companies. The content of the program is based upon the assumption that those in attendance do not have a formal education in engineering and chemistry and do not work in highly technical environments. Attendance at this course will be beneficial to support personnel such as environmental professionals, accountants, business managers, administrative and legal staff, sales and marketing personnel, insurance representatives, personnel managers, financial professionals, and government officials. The program should also be useful for newly-hired refinery plant operators. Finally, the course may serve as preparation for those who do not have a technical background but who want to attend the more detailed “Introduction to Petroleum Refining Processing” program offered by Refining Process Services. |
