If BP was around would you have just stayed here to get your education?

Of what I recall I think the material they test over is about the same, I don't recall though if there are different requirements in continuing education or other things like that. 

BP offers free online videos and educational courses for you to watch and learn from.

This is done online, but must complete 22.5 hours of continuing education.

Best/first thing to do is get educated.

I say almost because you still have to get enough education to make sure your team is doing the right things.
