ForewordsAt Petrotech, we have established an organization comprising of well acclaimedprofessionals (Qualified Senior Consultants) with vast amount of experience in Oil, Gas &Petrochemical organizations in Middle East, especially in GCC. (QP & KNPC)The main objectives of our organization are, as follows: Training your staff to the best efficient methodology leading to better understandingof the process/equipment. Participants will benefit from in-depth training throughwell-designed courses, covering theory & practical application of the real workenvironment including troubleshooting of actual cases. Participants will be able to learn different approaches to run the plant safely, monitorthe plant performance, troubleshoot plant problems, optimize the process from allaspects, reduce operating costs & thus improving profitability.

We are confident that we are offering the best training at a very competitive price.Therefore, we seek a long term partnership for Manpower Development from entry levelstaff to experienced staff. This could be done via our standard or customized courses.

Competency based Assessment ApproachCompetency Based Assessment

This novel approach allows you to identify skill gap of an employee that hinders his level ofperformance required in light of specified performance standards. An employee on his owncan determine which training is required for skill development. The unit of progression in acompetency based training system, is mastery of knowledge and skills and is learnerfocused. Two key components of competency-based training are:

Skill – a task or group of tasks performed to a specified level of proficiency whichtypically involves the manipulation of tools and equipment, or expertise that isknowledge or attitude-based.

Competency – a skill performed to a specified standard under specific conditions.

Why Competency based Assessment

The key to competency assessment is that it is based on actual skills and knowledge that an employeecan demonstrate in the workplace. This is different to other approaches where there is norequirement to demonstrate knowledge and skills – like approaches where people just answerquestions as a test of their knowledge and skills. The problem with testing is that it doesn’t guaranteethat a person will be able to do something – it just verifies that they know something.

COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT FOR ORGANIZATION

Your organization will benefit from increased productivity and profitability by ensuringemployees have the capability to meet their objectives.

More objective with assessment being carried out ‘on the job’. Training is only provided for areas identified as needing development. Reduced training costs because learning and development can occur on the job. You can create project teams of people with complementary skills. Competency data is the basis for dynamic succession planning.

COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT FOR PEOPLE

Self-driven process – learning occurs at the person’s own pace and on the job. Existing knowledge and prior learning are recognized. Competence is shown by being able to demonstrate skills. Fairer and more objective assessment.

Builds knowledge and skills that are directly useful to the person in their job and for future roles
