General Objectives
To train competent technicians (at Diploma level) by imparting knowledge, competencies and skills in the field of Petroleum Geology.
Specific Objectives
The Specific Objectives of the programme will be to provide that upon completion of the NTAL 6 programme technicians are expected to be able to:
- Describe basic components of geological, geochemical and geophysical methods and perform (without supervision) geological and geochemical sampling, and geophysical data acquisition in oil and gas exploration and development;
- Support and assist experts in project designs, establish logical framework for project planning, implantation and monitoring in oil and gas exploration and development;
- Undertake field and laboratory analysis and tests of geological (rocks, sediments and fossils) and geochemical samples;
- Prepare basic reports for geological, geochemical and geophysical field activities in oil and gas; well drilling and logging activities in oil and gas exploration and development for the supervisor;
- Describe and analyse policy, statutes, and related documents in the oil and gas industry in Tanzania; and
- Supervise geological, geochemical and geophysical field operations and drilling rig camp management.
Admission Requirements
An applicant must have completed successfully the Technician Certificate (NTA Level 5) in Petroleum Geology or its equivalent from NACTVET acredited institution with at least a 2.0GPA.

General Objectives
To train competent technicians (Diploma level) by imparting knowledge, competencies and skills in the field of Mineral exploration and Mining geology through demanding practical based trading.
Specific Objectives
The Specific Objectives of the programme will be to provide that upon completion of the NTAL 6 programme technicians are expected to be able to:
- Describe basic components of geological, geochemical and geophysical methods and perform (without supervision) geological and geochemical sampling, and geophysical data acquisition in mineral exploration, mine development and mining;
- Describe the fundamentals of mining methods and perform (with supervision) basic mining and mineral processing activities.
- Support and assist experts in project designs, establish logical framework for project planning, implantation and monitoring in mineral exploration and mine development;
- Undertake field and laboratory analysis and tests of geological (rocks, and ore) and geochemical (rocks, cores, stream sediments and soil) samples;
- Apply remote sensing data and GIS to digitize and prepare geological maps and other maps in mineral exploration.
- Prepare basic reports for geological, geochemical and geophysical field activities in mineral deposits; drilling and logging activities in mineral exploration and mine development and underground water resources for the supervisor; and
