How does a person know what his training needs are? To know the answer, a person would need to know what industry experts have determined are required of his particular field.

Apart from long years of experience, is there a way to assess a person’s full range of knowledge in a particular skill area? 

The short answer is ‘Yes’.          

Competency-based training is the foundation of PetroSkills. In fact, the PetroSkills alliance, through its discipline-specific competency maps has become the industry benchmark.

The PetroSkills training alliance leverages the experience and expertise of its member companies to develop detailed COMPETENCY MAPS for most of the disciplines. Under the direction of the PetroSkills Advisory Board, member company operational experts serve as curriculum advisors to define the technical skills required at specific levels of expertise. The result is a common, agreed-to set of competency maps that form the framework for all PetroSkills courses. Furthermore, this competency framework is continually improved and renewed, keeping current with industry trends, technology and demands.

With these competency maps, individuals and organizations can identify and manage the skills that they require to be successful. The PetroSkills courses are designed to deliver these competencies as part of a coordinated training program.
