SQA has international experience in offering a full range of qualifications which are fit for purpose for the training and development needs of the Oil and Gas industry. These qualifications are based on competence standards set by Cogent.

Michael Baker Corporation, with more than 4,500 employees in over 40 offices across the United States and internationally, provides engineering and energy expertise for public and private sector clients worldwide.

‘I am delighted that, after careful consideration of the range of international standards, Baker has chosen SQA. We look forward to further developing our relationship.’ said Anton Colella, Chief Executive of SQA.

Walter Jackson, Baker Energy’s Vice Principal of Global Training added ‘this is an important step in achieving our vision of providing high quality, consistent services to our clients no matter where a training need may exist.’

Recently, SQA reinforced their commitment to the Oil and Gas sector by successfully participating in ‘Getenergy 2005’ in Houston. This event took place to help the oil and gas industry meet the challenge of education, training and knowledge transfer, globally.

The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) is the national body in Scotland responsible for the development, accreditation, assessment and certification of qualifications other than degrees.
