Course Overview
Petroleum engineering is crucial to the world’s economy, ensuring the extraction of oil and gas is safe, efficient and more affordable for customers. This qualification addresses all of the stages of oil and gas field evaluation, development and production to prepare you for a wide range of roles in the petroleum industry. Throughout the entire extraction process, petroleum engineers are tasked with reducing the effect of drilling on the environment. Petroleum engineering offers an exciting, international career.
Advanced Certificate and Diploma in Petroleum Engineering qualifications aims to help students to develop their understanding of management within the context of the Petroleum Engineering industry. The qualifications in Petroleum Engineering provides a specialist work-related programme of study that covers the key knowledge, understanding and practical skills required in the petroleum engineering sector and also offer particular specialist emphasis through the choice of specialist units.
The higher National Certificate constitutes part I of the course and is equivalent to Level 4 of a degree programme. The Higher National diploma constitutes both Part 1 & Part 2 and is equivalent to Level 5 of a degree programme.

2 x ‘A’ Level qualifications passes (E Grade) or
vocational equivalent at BTEC National Diploma (Pass)
Applicants for whom English is not their first language must demonstrate sufficient proficiency in both writer and spoken English. The minimum is IELTS 5.5 (with a minimum of 5.5 in all skill areas) or equivalent.
Students with significant relevant work experience can also be considered.
To achieve each unit you will have to demonstrate competence in each of the assessment criteria/ learning outcomes identified. Assessment may take the form of a completed written assignment, a closed or open book examination, a report, a presentation or a project. Some group work may take place, although you will always be assessed on an individual basis.
You will be given formative assessment early on in each unit to enable you to identify where your strengths are and which areas you need to develop in order to be successful.
You will then be assessed at the end of each unit against the required Learning outcomes. All assessments go through our own Internal Quality Assurance process to ensure that they meet the highest possible standards and give you every opportunity to achieve (see IBCM Assessment and Verification Policy)
All units, with the exception of the “graded units” will either pass or fail.
Should you not meet the learning outcomes on your first submission, you will be given one opportunity for a resubmission. If, at the resubmission, you still do not meet the required outcomes, one opportunity to retake the unit can be authorised. This unit can then receive a maximum pass grade.
If a unit is still not passed at this stage it is deemed to have failed. Your assessor will discuss the options with you, such as an alternative unit in the case of optional units, or whether you are able to study the core module again.). See IBCM Assignment submission procedure. Full attendance at lessons for the repeated module is required along with appropriate payment.
