With the ambition of becoming a leading prestigious human resources training, certification and development unit for oil, gas and other important industries in Vietnam and in the world, PVD Technical Training & Certification Joint Stock Company (PVD Training) has continuously improved the quality and developed services to create a closed service provision chain model to provide professional training services for customers and optimise human resources development solutions in the current context.
Set up in 2007, PVD Training is a member company of PetroVietnam Drilling & Well Service Corporation (PV Drilling) and a specialist in three fields: training and certification, manpower development solutions, and safety technical services like safety equipment, testing and maintenance services in accordance with regulations of Vietnam Register and global industrial regulations as ABS, DNV, BV and Lloyds.
PVD Training not only provides basic training but also focuses on professional practice, soft skills training and professional capacity building for workers short of practical experience. Besides, PVD Training also offers a lot of expertise training solutions for a variety of customers. In addition to full-time training at its establishments, PVD Training also deploys and applies new training solutions like online training, in-situ training, and on-platform training, thus offering flexible, cost-effective and time-saving training methods for businesses.
Mr Bui Thanh Van, Director of PVD Training, said, to improve service quality and professionalism, PVD Training bases on international standards and accreditations of prestigious international organisations. Thus, for years, PVD Training has been certified by many international certification bodies.
Specifically, PVD Training has been applied OPITO (Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organisation) standards to offshore petroleum technical safety training, IWCF (International Well Control Forum) standards to advanced oil and gas well-site control training. OPITO is a world-leading certification organisation of safety training, especially offshore petroleum safety training. It is a prestigious organisation with strong influences on other industries worldwide. PVD Drilling has faced lots of difficulties in building management systems, training personnel, constructing facilities and creating training materials according to international OPITO and IWCF standards because of their strict requirements. But, with its strong efforts and determinations, PVD Training became the first training unit in Vietnam to be certified by OPITO in December 2011. Up to now, PVD Training has over 10 OPITO-accredited safety training courses, including T-BOSIET, T-HUET, T-FOET, H2S, TSBB, EBS, BOSIET, HUET, FOET, IMIST, and Authorised Gas Testing. With firm steps on the way defined, PVD Training well-site control programme was certified by IWCF in August 2013, making PVD Training the only training centre in Vietnam to have IWCF international certification.
Not merely hiring and subleasing manpower, by playing on its strengths of specialised training and certification, PVD Training has a strong force of well-trained, certified human resources supplied to domestic and international recruiters and contractors. The company can supply different quantity and quality of human resources for various different types of work. Especially, PVD Training satisfies the timeliness and effectiveness of project-based manpower supply services.
With the mission of filling the manpower gap for businesses, PVD Training studied and created Competency-based Training Model, a title recognition training programme, for drilling crew in which theoretical and practical training is incorporated to improve driller competency. This is a systematic competency-based training programme designed from sets of title competency standards and is an effective tool to assess professional expertise and ensure training optimisation.
What fundamentally makes PVD Training’s success is right-oriented development planning, high determination in implementation, continuous efforts for international certification, and continued improvement of internationally certified standard systems to create a solid platform for the company to make great strides in its development history.
