Despite the borders' lockdowns and the impossibility for IFPTraining trainers to travel, we were able to hold the end-of-training defenses for the 1st promotion students, by videoconference and face-to-face, with a strong representation of partner oil companies, both national and international. These defenses were organized in strict compliance with health measures and social distancing rules. Our first specialized engineers trained in Senegal are now ready to join the oil and gas industry.
