A Major Refinery had decided that the structure for training their teams lacked a formal process and materials. Training had been delivered in the areas of process and procedural change and the underpinning knowledge of the refinery processes had been left to others. When the refinery became more complex and subject to new control systems the training was completely reviewed.

The training strategy developed for business provided a structure to challenge, "what we do?",

"why we do it?",

"how we do it?" and

"how we evaluate it?".

The resulting analysis identified the key steps to achieve the business objectives:

Technician Training Tooboxes - Training delivered "on shifts" to satisfy basic skill requirements and provide a cost effective approach to training, for example Storage and transfer systems, Distillation, Control Valves, Pumps and Pump Operation, Tank management and Fault Finding, Instrumentation, DCS systems etc..

Activity Based Learning - Modules developed for all the products in the refinery area to train and validate performance to a consistent level


Job Methods - Procedure development to provide a clear process for training and validation which explained 'how' and 'why' we do what we do.


Training for Assessors - to provide a quality verified process for the assessment / validation of competence to stand up to the rigours of the Industry regulators.


Management of NVQ - qualifications on behalf of the client to allow them to focus on their core activity


Project Management - of the training activities

The results have produced a completely structured technical training process that meets the business and regulator's requirements.

This has resulted in,

  • Shift technical toolboxes across the range of technical training
  • Over 20 activity based learning modules for the refinery with assessment guides
  • Shift based assessors assessing some 150 plus job methods and ABLs
  • Numerous NVQ Units and awards for registered technicians
  • Recording and tracking processes
