Objective

The NOGEPA 2.15 formal assessment determines if an OIM is competent to lead a well-trained Emergency Management Team during Major emergencies on an offshore installation. During the assessment candidates will be confronted with incidents that can occur while executing daily activities on an offshore platform. It is advisable to follow the NOGEPA 2.14a MoME course prior to taking the assessment.

Objective:
To formally assess a delegate's ability to show effective leadership during Major Emergencies on Offshore installations.

* Course duration might depend. If the student has not received training in a long time, one day refresher may be advisable.

Target Group

Offshore Installation Managers (OIM).
Key persons being part of an Emergency Management Team.

Prerequisites

Conditions for Participation:

The delegate is required to have followed the MoME basic course, MoME refresher course, or a NOGEPA accepted equivalent, within the past 2 years. The maximum number of delegates to be assessed in this course is 2 (two) per day.

Prior to taking this formal assessment the delegate is to provide written evidence of being qualified to act as an OIM and has had a leading role in maintaining the emergency preparedness on an offshore E&P installation.

Examination

The delegate will be assessed against the following competences in order to:

- Evaluate the situation and make plans to combat the emergency accordingly.
- Demonstrate effective leadership and manage the various team members to their best of abilities.
- Maintain both internal and external communications in an effective manner.
- Delegate actions and decisions to team members best suited for the task.
- Take responsibility and initiative to combat the Emergency.
- Cope with stress in self or others.

The delegate will be assessed during no less than 3 control room simulations during which the delegate has the role of OIM.

The delegate will be assessed by means of continuous evaluation by a trained, qualified and industry experienced Assessor.

By the end of the course the delegate is to receive a written and specified assessment with the following possible results:

1 = Competent to show effective leadership to a well trained team during an Emergency;
2 = Not yet competent to show effective leadership to a well trained team during an Emergency.

The delegate is to score a 1 on all 3 simulations presented to him/her to achieve a positive assessment outcome. To obtain a second chance a delegate needs to show reasonable promise to be successful on re-assessment. Only one simulation per delegate can be re-assessed.

Validity: 4 years

Notes:
The validity of the 2.15 course has changed in dec. 2021 from “no expiry” to “4 years”. This change will be reflected on all 2.15 certificates awarded on and after January 1, 2022.

Course Contents
