The Oxford Princeton Programme Commemorates 25th Year of Bestseller Course in
International Oil Supply, Transportation, Refining and Trading
OXFORD, UK - January, 2008:
The Oxford Princeton Programme, the world's leading education and training
provider in energy, commodities and derivatives, is proud to mark the silver
anniversary in 2008 of its highly-acclaimed course in International Oil
Supply, Transportation, Refining and Trading (SP1). This landmark course
became an instant hit when it was first offered in 1983 amongst petroleum
industry participants who sought a comprehensive overview that followed the
flow of oil throughout the entire supply chain in a relevant and practical
manner.
"International Oil Supply, Transportation, Refining and Trading was
unique then and remains so today in bringing together a renowned team of
specialists in every aspect of the stream," says Mr. Robin Burley, who
joined the course's lecturing team in 1990 before taking it on as Course
Director in 1995. "We have much to owe Mr. Alan Barton of Gulf Oil UK,
who originated the specialist instructor team and content and had led the
course until his retirement."
"No other five-day offering boasts a cadre of 'who's who' in the oil
industry whether it be the lecturing team or attending delegates," says
Clara Lippert Glenn, President and CEO, The Oxford Princeton Programme.
"The diversity of participants enhances the learning experience and
networking opportunities."
The 25th year of SP1 will be observed with three scheduled sessions in
Oxford, UK:
25 - 29 February 2008
23 - 27 June 2008
8 - 12 September 2008
Early online registration is highly encouraged as repeat sell-outs are
anticipated. This, along with other courses offered by The Oxford
Princeton Programme offer a certificate upon successful completion.
