Hi. It is guite busy world wide and i nearly got a job in Nisku near Edmonton The course is The Petroleum Training Institute this would be the best place for you to start but in Canada they work 2 weeks on 1 week off but have the summer off, due to the perma frost and type of rig. But right now if you do this course you would be pretty much garenteed a job.I have a Conandian Supervisor also on the rig right now.After a couple of years you could then go overseas.Hope that helps,be more than able to meet up in March and have a drink,and let you know more finer details.
