To be perfectly honest with the small amount of research on various programs I did the programs are generally the most relevant to my area of work. That's not to say they are perfect but they seem to be superior to others readily available in this part of the world. WEL Networks, New Zealand

Program content seems practical and applicable. I already have a BSc where the focus is on the theory. BHP Billiton, South Africa

Industry recognition and recommendation by colleagues. Rio Tinto

Seemed the most convenient option, and it was! CPIT, New Zealand

Program content ease of study option. Nestle, South Africa

The content of the program made up my mind. Transportadora de gas del Norte, Argentina

Their programs are standard and program material as well as lecture are okay. Shell, UK

Its international recognition with body endorsing certification. Easy to attend lessons after work hours. Easy way of program payment. Kinyara Sugar Ltd, Uganda

The most practical and technical offerings by the most qualified lecturers for distance learning. Encana Natural Gas

On line references, price, and various time frames available to sit in on the class. Also, one more important item was being able to converse with the lecturer and class instead of working totally on my own. Mitchell Technical Institute
