    Alright, Any boys or girls doing instrumentation at the moment in the oil and gas industry. Keep getting calls to go as a instrumentation tech to jobs around the world, Have no formal qualification as one one, but have been doing it hands on for nearly 2 years.

    Can anyone recommend a course to do besides doing a 4 year college course.


    :confused:

    Most people in Ireland that work in instrumentation are employed in the pharmaceutical industry.

    I have heard that Fas have run some good instrumentation courses in the past.

    Instrumentation is such a vast area that IMHO a short course would not teach you very much.

    If employers you are talking to are looking for a "formal" qualification I think you will find that it will be a qualification that will take quite some time to get.
    have been doing it hands on for nearly 2 years.
    What sort of instumrntation work have you been doing?? I am sure that the experience that you have gained will stand to you.

    Good luck with it.
