Why us
Training built by people who have done the work.
Every programme is authored by Osvard’s consulting engineers — specialists who have led HAZOP studies, designed SIS architectures, and delivered competency frameworks for Tier-1 operators.
01
Built by practitioners
Programmes are designed by Osvard engineers who have led safety studies and delivered competency frameworks on live process plants — not by career trainers working from textbooks.
02
Outcome-focused
Every programme is structured around measurable competency outcomes — what participants can demonstrate at the end of training, not just what they have sat through.
03
Tailored to your sites
In-house programmes can be adapted to your asset types, operating procedures, and competency assurance framework — so examples and exercises reflect your engineers’ real working environment.

Our roots
Backed by Osvard’s consulting expertise.
Osvard Competency is the training division of Osvard — a specialist process safety and functional safety consultancy with two decades of project delivery across the global process industries.
Our training programmes are developed from real consulting assignments: the methods, tools, and frameworks we teach are the same ones our engineers apply on live projects for Tier-1 operators and EPCs.

What engineers say
“[Placeholder — replace] The HAZOP leadership programme gave our engineers the structured framework and facilitation skills to run credible studies in-house. The facilitators understood our plant context immediately.”

[Placeholder — replace] J. Murphy
Process Safety Manager, Refining Operations
“[Placeholder — replace] We needed functional safety training that reflected IEC 61511 as applied to our SIS lifecycle — not generic theory. Osvard Competency delivered exactly that, on site, calibrated to our P&IDs.”
