In autumn of 2009 a programme «Professional Improvement of Specialists of the Ukrainian Oil-and-Gas Industry for the International Co-operation and Employment in Western Companies» started to act, which was grounded by the Tutkovsky Institute and an All-Ukrainian public organisation «Ukrainian Association of Geologists». On the TUTKOVSKY’s initiative and invitation, the leading Ukrainian and foreign specialists are attracted in the educational process with giving lectures and specialized courses. Among them, lecturers from the Ukrainian Association of Geologists, AAPG, SEG, EAGE, EFG and other partners. Courses are organized on the basis of the Tutkovsky Institute, Institute of Geological Sciences of the NAS of Ukraine, other institutions. They are funded at the expense of sponsors, and therefore, for participants of the training programs these are free of charge. After successful completion of the course, participants are given a certificate of advanced training.
