CMDS is designed to provide a comprehensive competency-based approach to training by measuring and tracking worker competence and by providing relevant job-specific training.
CMDS is online and accessible 24/7 from any web-enabled device.
Worker self-assessment and validation data is audited by industry Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and can be used to satisfy certification requirements at Lakeland College in Alberta and Northern Lights College in BC.

Workers are assigned a job profile (e.g. Field Operator, Gas Plant Operator, Gas Plant Electrician, Pipeline Operator), which includes generic and site-specific competencies assigned to one or more validators. Each competency identifies the knowledge and skills required for a particular job function, as defined by industry SMEs and training consultants. Training resources can be attached to the competencies being measured, and mandatory e-learning modules can be assigned to individual workers. Validation of competency self-assessments is done by a validator, who agrees or disagrees with a worker's self-assessment.
CMDS is designed to provide a comprehensive competency-based approach to ensure employees and contractors understand their specific job requirements and provide a credible record of achieved knowledge and skills.
Competencies are developed by workers in industry to reflect the work they do within their facility. Because it is experienced workers who develop these competencies, it ensures they are relevant and acceptable to the workplace.
Currently the system serves about 5,000 employees and contractors across Canada, in nearly 100 major energy companies – including several multinationals. The program has been accepted by several post-secondary institutions, with Certificate and Diploma development led by Lakeland College.

New Validator Course Structure
Following each validator course we request participants complete a course evaluation. The results of these evaluations are reviewed and the feedback provided is important to the design of the course. Through these evaluations, we have received several requests to change the course from a day and a half to a one day course. Based on participant feedback we have altered the structure of the course so that it will now run as a one day course beginning at 7:30AM and ending at 5:00PM.
The course outcomes will remain the same;
Additional follow-up resources have been made available in the CMDS e-learning library, Administration section, they include:
As always we welcome participant feedback and hope that these adjustments to the course better meet our users' needs.
The next validator course is scheduled for September 21, 2016. To register visit www.keyeracmds.com
