OTS standards
In this section of the philosophy, the OTS standards will be defined. Why is this important, you might ask?
To be able to draw a training and assessment matrix that we can check every trainee against, we need to define the standards that we are going to include in the matrix.
We will show a sample of the matrix later on.
OTS training standards are as follows:
- Units: In this instance, the definition for a unit is an area of competence or training. Units can be standalone units or supporting units, but typically, for process plant-specific units, they will consist of elements and sections.
- Elements: These are a part or a subset of a unit. For every element, a competency standard will need to be demonstrated for every trainee.
- Sections: A section is an area of skill and/or knowledge to be demonstrated for each element. There are five sections for each production element. These are as follows:
