VII Oil Traders Summer School

Confidence Capital Ltd. is pleased to announce the call for participants in the seventh annual Oil Traders Summer School. The school this year will take place on August 2-20 in London.

 

The Oil Traders Summer School is an annual in-depth study and career-development course focused on the international trade in oil and oil products. Successful completion of the course is certified by the award of a Russian state Certificate of Further Education.

 

The programme has been developed by Confidence Capital and the Russian Energy Ministry’s Institute of Professional Exellence for the specialists of energy sector.

 

This unique course features individual, specialised units taught by experts in their field, including traders and specialists in trade financing, freighting, legal aspects and more. The result is an intensive, in-depth programme of lectures that encompasses all aspects of trading in oil and oil-products – including related disciplines such as fundamental and technical analysis, oil processing, risk management, financing of trading operations, operational procedures, back-office operations, logistics, freighting and the legal framework – while avoiding generalised or superficial treatment of key issues. The month-long intensive induction into the functioning of London’s oil markets means that participants are introduced to various aspects of trading, and obtain a detailed understanding of all the commercial and technical aspects of working on the oil market and the oil and gas market as a whole.

 

Moreover, participants can expand their professional horizon through communication with sectoral specialists during the course, and study the problems that specialists may encounter as their professional career develops. For many specialists, their training at the summer school has represented a turning point in their career.

 

A stand-out feature of the Oil Traders Summer School is the organisation of technical visits to terminals and oil refineries, and visits to the trading floors of major vertically integrated oil companies for discussions with those working in the oil and gas trade.

 

Graduates of the Oil Traders Summer School always remember their August of study in London with warmth and nostalgia, and treasure the knowledge and contacts that they obtained there.

 

I attach the course programme for your consideration.

 

We would be delighted to see you and your colleagues at this year’s Summer School!

 

Yours sincerely,

Ekaterina Poluyanova
