there has been a drastic upsurge in technology in the down hole and drilling inst. (not logging per se, that is a different field).
your best bet at this point is to hire into the field. i am not aware of any schools in that specific field

I'll try to work something out with my boss.

Im afraid I got a red mist when I read the posting. Not that I criticise the guy for asking an innocent question, thats entirely fair. Its just all the lame answers he mostly got in this forum titled Instrument engineering.
I have more than 30 years in the game, man and boy apprentice and, these days probably as rare as hen's teeth. For most of my professional life I have had to battle with other disciplines who feel they can dabble with "instruments". Process engineers are the worst for meddling with P&IDs.
Yes the ISA has a number of (expensive) course and videos to offer.These will really only give you a superficial understanding of the art of I&C. You have to spend many years, constantly updating and you still dont know much. Such is the vast nature of this discipline. The compentant I&C man needs a generalist background, with an understanding of mechanical, electrical and process equipment together with computer and electronic skills. Its a very tall order. It might be easier to become a brain surgeon, because thats a specialist and its easy to become a specialist.
Beauz is interested in platform instruments, scada, shutdown systems. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and you can do a lot of damage with those systems.
