INSTEP recently celebrated the achievement of five engineers from Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) who successfully completed a 3-month Customised Programme for Refinery Operation Engineers at INSTEP, Batu Rakit. The Closing Ceremony took place at Mercure Living Putrajaya on 7 August 2025.
The programme was designed to equip participants with comprehensive technical knowledge and skills in plant operation and maintenance of oil and gas facilities, aligning with industry requirements and adhering to relevant standards and regulations.
In addition to classroom-based theoretical lessons, the engineers gained hands-on experience at the Upstream Downstream Training Plant (UDTP). Their learning journey was further enriched through a two-week On-the-Job Attachment at Malaysian Refinery Company Sdn. Bhd. (MRCSB), providing them with direct exposure to real refinery operations.
“This programme signifies our commitment to supporting the energy workforce on a global scale through strategic collaboration with UNOC, ensuring operational readiness of Uganda’s energy infrastructure. We hope these engineers have gained the knowledge and experience needed to drive Uganda’s journey towards industrial maturity,” said En. Azhar b. Ahmad, Chief Executive Officer of INSTEP.
