World's Leading Petroleum Training Alliance

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 E&P and many Facilities disciplines. Under the direction of an industry board, 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 training 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.
