OPERATOR QUALIFICATION SERVICES

AYUDA utilizes pipeline industry professionals who have the expertise you demand for your Operator Qualification needs. Our instructors/trainers use the tools provided by the National Center for Construction Education and Research’s (NCCER’s) Pipeline Training and Assessment Program or PTAP (developed in cooperation with the American Pipeline Institute) to conduct knowledge assessment and performance verifications for operator identified covered tasks.

OPERATOR QUALIFICATION THROUGH ASSESSMENT

AYUDA will administer NCCER's PTAP written assessments at your facility or location of your choosing. This option allows you to reduce the amount of time your employees are away from their routine activities, keeps them in a more familiar setting and reduces travel costs.

In the event that your employee(s) do not pass an assessment, a targeted training prescription is provided and customized upgrade training is available to assist your employees in being successful with their OQ.

OPERATOR QUALIFICATION THROUGH PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION

AYUDA provides trained and certified evaluators to administer pipeline performance verifications or PV’s. Pipeline performance verifications (PVs) are designed to assess an individual's skill level on specific tasks. PVs require a participant to demonstrate their skill level in a controlled, observable, and measurable manner and are administered by AYUDA’s NCCER qualified performance evaluator.

OPERATOR QUALIFICATION THROUGH TRAINING

Operator Qualification can also be achieved through the use of NCCER’s pipeline training curriculum which includes both knowledge-based training AND performance evaluations. AYUDA can provide OQ TRAINING, resulting in Operator Qualification, customized to your company!
