§ 250.1513 - What is MMS looking for when it reviews an alternative training program?  


Latest version.
  • (a) The alternative training must teach methods to operate equipment that result in safe and clean operations.

    (b) MMS will determine, through onsite MMS reviews and unannounced audits during the provisional period, if the:

    (1) Training environment is conducive to learning;

    (2) Trainees interact effectively with the moderator or training administrator,

    (3) Trainees function as a team (for well control only); and

    (4) Tests are challenging and cover all important safety concepts and practical procedures to ensure safety.

    (c) MMS may also speak with the trainees to determine if the trainees felt the training met their needs for their job.
