Training Schedule 2008

UOP has been providing training and development programs to the refining and petrochemical industries for 90 years.  Our goal is to provide the refinery and petrochemical industries with training and development programs that will develop requisite employee competencies and enhance organizational effectiveness.  Therefore, our courses focus on designing refineries and process units, delivering process technology, developing strategic and refinery plans and improving overall operations.  To this end, UOP provides open enrollment courses to the refining and petrochemical industries, and process technology courses to licensees and their employees.

UOP training and development programs are designed using adult learning methodology, and are delivered by UOP business, technology and equipment experts. The course delivery method includes a mix of lecture and interactive exercises that enable participants an opportunity to apply what they have learned.
