Competence Center – EN

Combining theory with practice

Experience is what makes our people stand out. But to get even better and stay up-to-date with industry innovations, we conduct regular workshops and training sessions. The Competence Center is where it all happens.

We take a balanced approach to education. For us, theory and practice go hand in hand. That’s why the center features lecture rooms as well as site testing facilities. It allows our employees and clients to improve their skills by simulating various scenarios in on-site conditions.

To verify the skills of our specialists, the center is used as a certification site. One of the certificates is NORSOK M-501. The training is conducted by FROSIO level III instructors. All of the certificates are properly accredited.

Our in-house Process Automation system ensures the authenticity of our certificates. The software generates the appropriate certificates automatically. It contains a unique QR code that confirms the validity of the test.

The Competence Center is equipped with a monitoring system. It allows our clients to watch the entirety of the examination remotely.
