Twenty-four Guyanese have completed the first phase of Advanced Skills Training in Petroleum Operations and “are now one step closer to being internationally-qualified to function in various technical roles onboard the Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels operating offshore Guyana.”

This is according to a press release from SBM Offshore, which said that the trainee technician programme was facilitated at LearnCorp International (LCI), a privately-owned institution operated by Cape Breton University in Nova Scotia, Canada. 

It is the second batch of Guyanese to have been trained under this programme and over the past year, the trainees received both theoretical and practical instruction in their respective disciplines which included Mechanics, Electrical, Instrumentation and Production, the release said.
