Petrosearch (Training) has been providing public short courses for the last 15 years, with style and content which are continually updated in response to changing technology and feedback from clients.

The courses originated in Perth where they are commonly referred to as PESA courses as they are run under the auspices of the Western Australian Branch of the Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia (PESA). On those occasions, industry professionals may be involved as guest presenters and part profits are donated to PESA (WA).

Introcuctory courses are specifically scheduled to occupy a single day in order to minimise “out of office” time for attendees whose critical support roles often preclude a longer absence. However, the courses may be run over two or more days when presented in-house or when supplemented with more comprehensive materials and hands-on exercises, allowing participants more time to absorb the information and to delve into those areas which particularly interest them.
