Shell Corporate Programme
Shell Exploration and Production Europe (Shell EPE) provides in house learning modules as essential parts of the training and competence development of relevant engineering staff. This proficient internal development programme, the Wells Distance Learning Package (WDLP) has at its core, two specific areas of study material, Round I and Round II.
Following an academic agreement between Robert Gordon University and Shell, two courses have been created to link the completion of Shell’s Learning Programmes to university degree awards. The courses take major elements of Round II of the WDLP and represent these modules at Masters level. In addition to recognising the educational status of experienced technical staff, the courses allow members of staff to progress further within Shell – locally and internationally. Both courses are accredited by the Energy Institute for further learning for CEng.
"Competition for highly-skilled staff in the oil sector is a global issue and the University is increasingly being asked to develop a wide range of tailored courses, both technical and managerial, to meet the specific needs of companies from Venezuela to China."
Professor John Watson, Dean of Faculty, Design and Technology
