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.

Energy Safety Canada - Update
Energy Safety Canada locations are starting to reopen slowly with critical courses being offered in person at some locations with reduced class sizes and physical distancing and sanitization protocol being observed. Anyone who is feeling unwell is asked to stay home and we will assist with re-scheduling your course. Please take the Government of Alberta COVID-19 Self-Assessment Tool or provincial self-assessment to determine whether you need to be tested for COVID-19.
In recognition that the previous office closures prevented workers from being able to take courses to renew their certificates, Energy Safety Canada will be offering a certificate extension for the following courses:
For these courses, any Certificate of Completion previously issued by Energy Safety Canada that has an expiry date between January 1, 2020 and September 1, 2020 will be deemed by Energy Safety Canada to have not expired and will remain valid up to and including September 1, 2020.
We understand that for many this means the dates in CMDS are no longer valid, and you may receive expiry notifications for tickets for which the extension applies. Please contact your local administrator to have the dates corrected. Administrators if you require assistance updating these dates please contact admin_cmds@keyera.com
