Who We Are

Two decades of expertise. One clear mission - to develop the professionals who power the region's most critical industries.

Our History

Rooted in the Gulf. Built for the World.

GPSC - Global Petroleum Services & Consultancy - is a growth product of Global Petroleum Business & Trading (GPT), founded in 1997. For over two decades, GPT has been a key driver of the UAE's oil and gas workforce, building deep institutional knowledge of the region's most demanding industries.

GPSC was established to channel that expertise into a structured knowledge institution - one that could serve not only the energy sector, but the full spectrum of technical and professional disciplines that underpin regional economic growth.

Today, GPSC operates three integrated service pillars: professional training, engineering consultation, and company representation. Together, they form a complete institutional offering - from skilling individual professionals to enabling international companies to enter the GCC market.
