On the basis of a strategic alliance with the Nova Scotia Community College undertaken in 2008 and as a subsidiary of the Kenson Group of Companies, the school operates within an integrated services approach to the industry and is able to harness instructors with industry experience as well as relevant up-to-date information on a real-time basis to deliver a wide range of courses to existing employees and new entrants alike. This also means that many persons view the Kenson School of Production Technology as a gateway to the oil and gas industry.
