Coming to Singapore!

PRINCETON, NJ - January, 2007: The Oxford Princeton Programme, Inc., the world's leading provider of training solutions to the energy, commodities and derivatives industries, announces a series of 17 courses in 2007 to meet the growing demand for a cutting-edge Singapore-based curriculum that gives delegates a competitive edge in the marketplace.

The Oxford Princeton Programme Singapore Private Ltd, located at 7 Temasek Boulevard, Suntec City Tower One, #06-01, will officially open this February. While the office will serve as an operational hub, public courses will be held in convenient downtown venues to cater to professionals across a variety of functions and levels of experience.

"The Oxford Princeton Programme recognizes the importance of meeting customers' need for accessible, multidimensional learning they can put to immediate use," says Jobert Abueva, Global Marketing Manager. "To best service this demand, we have compiled courses that strengthen core competencies, across a wide array of energy-related topics of significant interest to the region."

The following are confirmed to come to Singapore during first half of 2007:
