An interactive workshop designed to elevate existing bulk liquid operators to the current expected level of responsibility, autonomy, control, and self-supervision required by high hazard downstream sector operational technicians.
It provides recognition of the technical / supervisory knowledge, understanding and performance of those working at technician level within a bulk storage operations environment and the downstream sector.
It also accommodates the enhanced complexity of plant, associated equipment, operational requirement augmentation and system functionality, essential for safe site operations.
Built around the ‘Level 3 Diploma for a Bulk Storage Operator (Technician)’ national qualification, the workshop encompasses a blend of classroom, workshop, and onsite / plant operational activities, providing learners with the opportunity to perform and demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and competence in a fully emulated bulk storage terminal environment.
Who is this course for?
Existing Bulk Liquid Operators who want to upskill to the current expected level of responsibility, autonomy, control and self-supervision.
