Turn the earth's hidden energy into a global career. Our six-month Diploma in Oil & Gas Engineering takes you through exploration, drilling, production, processing, piping and pipelines, HSE, welding and inspection, the way the industry actually works. Classroom training in Kochi, Thrissur, Irinjalakuda, Attingal (Trivandrum) and Palakkad, plus online and hybrid batches across Kerala.





The Core Institute of Technology's Diploma in Oil & Gas Engineering is a thorough programme that prepares you for a rewarding career in the dynamic oil and gas sector. It covers the fundamental principles, practices and technologies involved in the exploration, production and management of oil and gas resources.
Oil and gas engineering is one of the core sectors behind the world's energy needs. You learn how hydrocarbons are found, drilled, produced, processed and transported safely, and you build the design, inspection and safety skills that employers in exploration firms, drilling contractors, refineries, pipeline projects and EPC companies look for.
An industry-related curriculum, taught by people who have worked in the field, with real exposure to plants and projects.
Classes in petroleum geology, drilling operations, reservoir engineering, production methods, pipeline transportation and safety regulations, so you understand the whole value chain.
Our faculty are oil and gas professionals who bring practical experience to the classroom and keep the content current with what sites and plants need.
Industrial visits and interaction with oil and gas and process companies show you real operations, technology and the jobs on offer.
Oil and gas work splits into three stages. The course covers all of them, so you can choose the specialisation that suits you.
Finding and producing hydrocarbons: petroleum geology, geophysics, drilling, well design, reservoir and production engineering, onshore and offshore.
Moving oil and gas safely: pipeline design and construction, piping codes, pipe supports, corrosion control, storage and distribution systems.
Turning crude into products: process engineering, separation and distillation, refining technologies, plant piping and inspection.
Methods, rig equipment & well planning
Artificial lift & optimization
Refining, separation & distillation
Design, codes, P&ID & AutoCAD Piping
WPS, PQR, NDT & coating checks
Risk, permits, H2S & emergency response
A complete curriculum that follows oil and gas from the reservoir to the refinery, with safety, welding and inspection built in.
Recommended reading: Fundamentals of Oil and Gas Industry for Beginners (Samir Ahmed), Petroleum Engineering Handbook (Larry W. Lake), Oil and Gas Production Handbook (Håvard Devold) and the ASNT Nondestructive Testing Handbook. Want to become a certified NDT technician too? Add our ASNT Level II NDT course.
Plan for at least 10 hours of effort each week to learn and apply the concepts. Every day mixes theory with hands-on practice, and four assessments keep your progress on track.
Learn the concepts, practise them on real oil and gas work, and leave ready for interviews.
Graduates work with exploration firms, drilling contractors, production operators, refineries, EPC contractors, service providers and government organisations in India and the Gulf. As the industry keeps evolving, you can keep learning and move into higher roles.
