Why Petrogas Workforce
Trained by people who still do the work.
Taught by practitioners.
Our trainers come from live metering, calibration and maintenance jobs, not just the classroom.
Real equipment.
Practical work happens in a calibration lab and workshops that also serve paying clients: our teaching factory.
Recognised certificates.
Petrogas and manufacturer (OEM) certificates now, with national and international awards as approvals come through.
Close to the gas fields.
Our Mtwara campus sits beside the Madimba gas plant and about 100 km from the planned Lindi LNG site.
Priced in shillings.
No flights, visas or per diems. A fiscal metering course that costs USD 5,950 in Dubai costs about USD 1,134 here.
Built for local content.
Every course produces attendance, results and certificate records employers can file with their local content plans.
