The Oxford Princeton Programme, the world'ss leading provider of energy, commodity and derivatives education and training, will follow the successful spring premiere of its Energy Derivatives Pricing, Hedging and Risk Management seminars by offering a second opportunity in 2009 for professionals to attend these new bestsellers.
