b) to determine if any adjustments need to be made to the program of the following day (if relevant)

The course is open to participants from Production / Maintenance (Middle) Management who have a requirement to bridge (a) competence gap(s) in Production & Well Management Operations according to their Job Profile.

NOTE:

In order to achieve a “Skill” level, further practical learning through
e.g. On-the-Job training or participation in projects and/or assignments is required

NOTE:

Although the course is aimed at a “Knowledge” (Understand) level, practical exercises and case studies will form an integral part of the learning process.

The objectives and modules of the training course “Production Operations & Well Management Operations” are directly linked to the Competence Assurance Programme (CAP) as developed by SOGOS Academy. Skills are selected from the SOGOS Academy skills library and these are translated into the training course curriculum. This approach ensures that each training event will demonstrable contribute to the competence of course participants.

The management framework CAP ensures competence of all employees through:

• the use of a unique set of skills standard to the oil & gas industry
• a common language for skills and competence
• the use of development/job profiles for each employee
• fit-for-purpose training targets
• a control mechanism to measure state of competence
