OLF (The Norwegian Oil Industry Association) has together with all the biggest operating companies on the Norwegian sector started a project called The Industry requirement project.
The purpose of this project is to lift the competence level for everyone operating equipment on hydrocarbon leading installations. The project prepares curriculums for everyone who is going to supervise or perform work on valves, flanges, fittings and in the process on pressure containing hydrocarbon leading systems.
The main goal with this training is to give personnel basic knowledge about the construction, work areas, safe operation and maintenance of different kinds of valves. The participants will with this training be better equipped to face a safer and simpler everyday when working with valves.
The participants will at end of this course know how to:

The duration of the course is a full working week (37,5 hours) and the training will be ended with final written test to ensure that all participants have sufficient knowledge about valves. The result on the written test is passed or not passed. When passed the written test the participants will get a proof of competence for accomplishing the basic training on valves.
