Participants will also gain practical experience through attachments with the GRA and other agencies in the oil & gas sector. The Graduate Executive Diploma, a one-year, 45-credit programme, aims to enhance the skills of GRA employees. It encompasses modules on analytics, risk management, Oil & Gas Law, and the core areas of accounting, taxation, and auditing.
