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 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.

How the PetroSkills Competency Maps are used:
- Individuals: assess where they are in their professional development and to design a plan to develop the competencies they need
- Companies: identify competency gaps in their organization and develop a plan to fill those gaps
- Curriculum Advisors / Directors: define course objectives, content and quality assurance
- PetroSkills Members: provide the basis for formal quality assurance and for continual improvement and renewal of the program
