Site Specific Competency Training
Site specific competency, taught and proven.
Contendo builds site specific competency programs for complex, process driven operations. Every program is developed from your own design data, so people learn the plant or equipment they actually run, and field level assessments confirm they can run it.
Custom Competency Programs Built From Your Specifications and Documents
A custom built competency program may seem out of reach, but Contendo provides a cost effective alternative to classroom sessions and paper handouts. Our technical writers are experienced process operators, technicians and engineers. From small, skid based process units to full facility operation, our programs are a very efficient way of getting a workforce trained to the same level.
Each program is developed from your Operating Manuals, Process Drawings and Control data, capturing the design specifications of your process and equipment. Animated Learning Modules show your facility and process in operation, with visuals like vessel cutaways and alarm indications demonstrating the process in action. Online testing follows each module, so training and testing are delivered consistently to every worker.
Then the knowledge goes to the field. Field level assessments let a supervisor or qualified assessor observe each person performing the task on site and sign it off against your standard. The assessment is recorded in the Contendo Training Management System alongside the online results, so you have proof of competency, not just proof of attendance.
Why Contendo?

Contendo has been building custom, site specific competency programs for complex industrial operations since 2007.
Savings
Contendo Training Packages save time & money over the long run.
Real-time Reporting
With Contendo’s real-time reporting features, Training Managers are always up-to-date.
Tested and Validated
Online testing checks the knowledge, and field level assessments confirm the skill on the job.
Built for Complex, Process Driven Operations
Contendo’s site-specific Technical Writing is centered on a writer researching the topic process data & writing a narrative describing how the process is designed & operated. The writer works with an illustrator to develop graphic representations of the topic process.
The Creative team of animators, narrators & audio engineers then turns the narrative & graphics into animated video.
Our Technical Development team includes web developers & programmers, who strive to develop user friendly applications for most platforms.
Together, we create process education & competency training solutions very specific to a client’s process or facility, delivered in a format that is easy to understand & accessible 24/7. It can be that Simple.
From Online Learning to Field Validation
Online modules teach the process and the reasoning behind it. Field level assessments then take that knowledge to the equipment, where a supervisor confirms each person can carry out the task safely and correctly. Both results live in the same record, so you can see who is trained, who is validated and who still needs time on the job.
Faster, Measurable Onboarding
New hires and transfers work through the same program in the same order, and supervisors know exactly which tasks are left to validate. People become productive sooner, and onboarding stops depending on who happens to be on shift.
For All Types of Learners
Fully narrated and animated, our modules suit visual and auditory learners, and the field assessment serves the people who learn best by doing. We also provide full text overviews for those who prefer a hard copy.
