Our Services
Competency Assurance
We have a deep understanding of the time and resource pressures you face in maintaining compliant teams, and in developing high performance workforces.
Our service is mapped around the efficient delivery and maintenance of core skills through either individual programs, or as part of a holistic Competency Assurance Management (CAMs) program.
CAMs is a highly effective and scalable tool that we custom-build for specific sites or operational teams, depending on your requirements.
The program is managed and operated by dedicated learning and development specialists.
Competency Assurance
In an environment of skills shortages, the ability to train and develop your own workforce is increasingly required to achieve operational success.
Competency Assurance, in collaboration with the engineering and operational expertise of our parent company Verbrec Ltd., can provide this critical component for your asset. Backed by Competency Training, a Registered Training Organisation, we understand the challenges of implementing training across your workforce in a cost-effective manner.
Our highly skilled team connects asset owners and operators with the solutions needed to ensure workforces are trained and ready to operate assets efficiently and safely. Our solutions involve all aspects of personnel training and development including:
- Training needs analysis/role profiling
- Instructional design
- Analyse training needs
- Design training (face to face, elearning or blended learning)
- Develop training materials (face to face, elearning or blended learning)
- Implement training using industry expert trainers
- Evaluate training effectiveness
- Implementation of training management solutions
- Management of training programs and course material
We can offer each of these services individually, or as part of a holistic Competency Assurance Management System (CAMS).
Competency Assurance Management System (CAMS)
Competency Assurance Management System (CAMS) will ensure that an operation has valid and reliable controls in place to ensure all people on site are competent to function in their respective roles. A CAMS is a highly effective tool that is scalable and can be custom-built for sites or specific teams/functions.
The system can be developed as a holistic training solution or can consist of one or more of the five key elements:
- Analysis
- Design
- Develop
- Implement
- Manage
Implementing a successful CAMS will ensure your workforce is trained, assessed as competent, continually developed, retained and your operational needs are meet. A highly trained and competent workforce can improve organisational efficiencies and lower operating costs and workplace incidents.
Working with a diverse international customer base, including Chevron, Oil Search, Santos and QGC, our dedicated learning and development specialists provide complete solutions for operations. Our Competency Assurance Management System (CAMS) is a highly effective tool that is scalable and can be custom-built for sites or specific operational teams.
We have delivered customised training systems for customers, such as specialised training for personnel working on high voltage equipment, through to four-stage internal progression training frameworks for entire workforces.

Technical Services
The message we often hear is: “We need to know we’re good to commence operations as soon as we flick the switch after commissioning – that our worksite has been professionally inspected and is fully compliant.”
How best do we minimise risks to deliver a professional, skilled and compliant worksite from the get-go?
