Certificate in Oil and Gas Reporting
Course Overview
The Certificate in Oil and Gas Reporting is a UK Level 3 short award delivered over 3 to 6 months, delivered across on-campus, online and distance routes. The programme concentrates on operational, financial and regulatory reporting across midstream oil and gas activity, and it is written in step with Energy Institute (EI), Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) competency areas familiar to UK operators, contractors and service companies working across the North Sea, wider Europe, the Middle East, West Africa and the Americas.
By graduation you will be preparing daily operations reports, throughput summaries and regulatory returns to UK operator standards, ready to take on foundational awareness and workplace-ready basics. You will finish with a capstone or portfolio project rooted in a real oil, gas and energy scenario, and you will leave with UK-format written and oral communication drilled through every module. The Certificate in Oil and Gas Reporting is calibrated for both first-career applicants and returning professionals, with dedicated tutor support inside every cohort.
On-campus cohorts sit weekly seminars at the LSOGM London base, live online cohorts join the same seminars via a scheduled video room, and distance-learning cohorts follow the same materials asynchronously with weekly tutor check-ins. Assessment across all three modes combines short written tasks, a workplace-relevant portfolio and a final review of the course capstone.

LSOGM sits within reach of the City's energy trading floors, the offshore expertise of Aberdeen and the North Sea, and one of the world's densest concentrations of oil, gas and energy sector employers.
Every intake, on-campus, online or distance learning, joins the same weekly seminar structure with named programme-tutor support. Three parallel study modes keep the programme accessible around shift patterns and travel commitments in the energy sector. Curricula are reviewed annually against live employer demand, and faculty are practising engineers, HSE specialists and energy economists.
