Course Overview

Delivered by the London School of Oil and Gas Management, the Diploma in Oil and Gas Logistics is a practitioner-foundation programme built inside Harold International College of London and calibrated to the working reality of the UK oil, gas and energy sector. Structured as a UK Level 4 vocational qualification, typically 6-12 months, the programme runs across 6-12 months and is aligned with UK further and higher education expectations for oil and gas logistics inside the midstream, logistics & refining area. Study is available on-campus in central London, online, or by distance learning, with the same weekly seminar structure, the same coursework schedule and the same named programme-tutor support across every mode of study.

By the end of the Diploma in Oil and Gas Logistics, you will work confidently at practitioner level and step into clean articulation into an LSOGM Advanced Diploma or Higher Diploma. The syllabus is built around supply chain planning, supply chain planning and adjacent topics such as petrochemical processing, using live scenarios from refineries, LNG terminals, midstream pipeline operators, marine oil terminals, petrochemical plants and integrated supply chain teams to sharpen how you read data, brief stakeholders and act inside the operating rhythm of the sector. Every taught unit closes with a reflection task so you can trace your capability growth week by week, and assessment uses applied coursework, case-briefs and workplace-style tasks so what you can do is evidenced through practice, not only examined through recall.
