Coast Guard Training and Competencies LCDR Brian Khey Outer Continental Shelf NCOE
Objectives �Discuss how CG trains its inspectors �Discuss expected core competencies for offshore �Discuss planned changes �Where can the CG improve?
How Does the CG Train? Marine Inspection Course • Regulatory Basics • Vessel Standards • Hull Construction & Repair • Electrical Performance • Lifesaving Qualification Standard & On the Job Training • Firefighting • Navigation & Communication
What Does an Offshore Insp. Need to Know? �Cranes �Diving �Stability �Manning (Operation) �Vessel operations �MODUs �FPS/FPU/FPSO �OSVs �And much, much more!
Training/Learning Gap �Inspectors need to understand complex systems but have no additional formal training �MODU-U used to exist but has not been provided to CG inspectors on a consistent reoccurring basis �No courses exist to further develop inspectors on how to regulate OSVs �Qualification standards are outdated and need reformatting
Closing the Gap �Produce CG approved training for both Drilling/Production and OSVs � Repeatable training = continuity � Valuable training = inspectors learn what they need to know to perform the job � Industry participation = direct feedback and understanding of CG roles �Update Performance Qualification System � Ensure inspectors a capable of performing all tasks to complete an inspection �Continued learning opportunities � Industry training � Ship ride programs �Use Verification Officers
Performance Qualification Standard
Working with Industry �Where can the CG improve? �What competencies do we lack? �How can we work with industry to improve an offshore regulatory regime? �What does the CG need to focus on first?
