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.

Natural Gas Processing (NGP), CMDS e-Learning Course
The Natural Gas Processing (NGP) course was developed to provide a basic understanding of the equipment, process and operations involved in a natural gas processing facility. The objective of the NGP course, is to provide workers in the natural gas processing industry with the knowledge needed to safely operate gas processing equipment.
It is important to note that the Natural Processing course does not provide external certification, but it is offered at no additional cost to current CMDS users. It can be accessed through the CMDS eLearning library under the headings NGP I, NGP II, and NGP III. The course follows the current CMDS eLearning format, which includes the module material followed by a module quiz. In total, the course consists of 75 module quizzes. Module materials include both content and learning aids such as: diagrams, tables, process flows and sample calculations with step-by-step answers.
The course is provided in three sections;
If your field or facility has incorporated gas processing training modules into its employee development or progression systems you can indicate completion of the NGP sections in CMDS by using the "NGP Section Competencies". A profile has been created in CMDS titled "CMDS NGP Competency Profile", containing three individual competencies, each of which corresponds to an NGP section.
