Reservoir Engineering Technician Candidates

Do I need a degree?

About 90% of our success stories have a bachelors degree and more than 60% have those degrees in non-technical majors.  History, Anthropology, English, Zoology, Biology, Theatre, Psychology, and Sociology majors have a history of success at QED.  Of course, Math, Business, Finance, Economics, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Education, and technical majors work as well.  Trainees with no degree have also been successful.  We think attitude, attention to detail, precision, and learning the training content are the real keys to success at the QED Career Launchpad.

Do I need oil and gas experience?

No way, on the QED Career Launchpad, we start from the very basics.  No energy experience is required, and we certainly prefer candidates with zero experience in the professional world.  Why is that?  There is a secret to our success and it involves the QED Soft Skills.  Experienced office professionals usually have their soft skills developed and don't need/want QED's advice.  The QED Success Stories will attest that the Soft Skills are the best part of the QED Career Launchpad.

How much time will I need for training?

We are currently training in our offices in Houston Monday through Friday from 9:30am to 5pm most days.  For each set of trainees, we schedule our calendar of training at the fastest pace at which the majority of trainees can successfully complete the curriculum.  For most cohorts, ten to twelve weeks of lecture, exercises, exams, and presentations will be scheduled.

Do I need to come to QED's Houston Office?

Yes, at this time QED is not offering remote facilitation for the QED Career Launchpad.  Do not buy a computer in preparation for QED training; QED provides all equipment required for training.

Who pays for this training?

At QED, we think it would be silly to charge our new trainees.  People just getting started in their professional life don't have the money to pay for expensive, high-caliber training at QED.  Conversly, QED's clients routinely pay QED to hire our trained professionals.  Contracts are involved.  QED is proud to cover the cost of training for candidates that honor our non-competitve agreement, and we make a return on our investment when we place our trainees in entry-level careers as reservoir engineering technicians.
