  • Online web based system, available through any internet connection, and accessible 24/7

  • Competencies are linked to specific eLearning training resources (modules) that include the information (knowledge) the competency is measuring
  • Track and store other company specific documentation (Codes of Practice (COPs), Safe Operating Practices (SOPs) and Training Guides)
  • Track the status of worker "Time Sensitive Safety Certificates" such as First Aid, H2S, WHMIS etc., which may be required for the worker to work in the industry

  • Certification is equivalent to attending a one year day time program at the college
  • Certification can be applied to the Petroleum Management Diploma
  • FPHO eLearning course prepares individuals to successfully challenge the ABSA Fired Process Heater Operator examination
  • FPHO eLearning course is approved by Alberta regulatory agencies (ABSA and Alberta Municipal Affairs)
  • FPHO eLearning course addresses the training requirements for fired heaters which are used extensively throughout Western Canada

The system's data (worker self-assessments and validations) is not only audited by industry Subject-Matter-Experts (SMEs) but also by college representatives, as workers are able to receive certification through Lakeland College in Alberta when they complete eligible profiles. CMDS also includes a Fired Process Heater Operator (FPHO) eLearning course which was developed to address the need to provide workers in industries using “fired heaters” with the knowledge to be able to safely operate and to recognize the hazards associated with operating fired heaters.

  • Two-step process allows for initial self-assessment to be done without external pressure or influence
  • Workers are given the opportunity to indicate if and when they feel they would benefit from additional training
  • Validation of the self-assessment, allows the assigned validator to either agree or disagree with the worker's self-assessment
  • Validation is done by a certified validator, someone that has successfully completed the CMDS Validator Training
  • Validators are Subject-Matter-Experts in their field (have industry experience and hold certification) and are validated in the profile they will be validating

CMDS uses a two-step validation process whereby the workers first independently self-assess on each competency, followed by a validation of the self-assessment.
