Programs & Strategic Initiatives

A rigorous 12-week professional certification programme co-developed with EITEP Institute (Hannover) — organisers of PTC Berlin, the world's premier pipeline conference. Delivered in Africa, for African engineers. Covers pipeline design, integrity management, corrosion control, SCADA systems, and regulatory compliance contextualised to African jurisdictions (NUPRC, NCDMB, DPE). The first internationally accredited pipeline engineering certification delivered on African soil.

Energy Policy & Regulatory Framework Fellowship

A 6-month immersive fellowship for mid-career professionals in energy policy, regulatory affairs, and continental infrastructure governance. Fellows work directly with APRN research teams on live policy projects — including NMGP treaty analysis, ECOWAS Energy Protocol implementation, and pipeline local content frameworks. Designed for government officials, regulatory staff, and senior energy sector professionals across Africa.

WIMEE Africa Leadership Programme

WIMEE Africa — Women in Midstream Energy and Engineering — is APRN's flagship initiative for women across the African pipeline and midstream energy sector. Founded by Lucy Okeke, the first African woman on the PTC Berlin Advisory Committee, WIMEE Africa provides structured mentorship, technical training, and leadership development for women engineers, policy professionals, and emerging leaders in Africa's pipeline industry. No other organisation on the continent offers a structured midstream-specific pathway for women.

A 12-week executive fellowship combining technical masterclasses with continental energy policy, project finance, and strategic leadership — designed for senior engineers and technical directors.

Advanced certification aligned with ASME B31.8S and API 1160 standards. Covers in-line inspection, risk-based assessment, corrosion control, and MAOP management for practising engineers.

A 10-week foundational programme covering pipeline design principles, material selection, installation methods, and field safety — designed for recent engineering graduates entering the African midstream sector.

Infrastructure Finance & Investment Short Course

A 3-week intensive programme on financing African pipeline and energy infrastructure. Covers project finance structures, DFI engagement (AfDB, IFC, DBSA, Afreximbank), green bonds, infrastructure funds, and bankability assessment for large-scale energy projects including the NMGP, EACOP, and AKK corridors.

Preparing midstream professionals for hydrogen transport, CO2 sequestration pipelines, and low-carbon infrastructure — covering technical retrofits, regulatory frameworks, and investment models.
