TRAINING & EVENTS

Professional Development for the Drilling Industry

ROA organises technical training, safety workshops, and industry events for members and drilling personnel. Programmes are developed with input from regulatory bodies and delivered by practitioners with field experience.

Training Approach

Our programmes focus on practical application—what works on site, not just in theory. Instructors include experienced drillers, hydrogeologists, equipment specialists, and safety professionals who understand Kenya's drilling conditions.
