Oil and gas companies need training software because safety is one of the major challenges in their industry. This type of software can help with specialized training for oil and gas operations, like drilling, and to ensure optimal use of assets and equipment. By using oil and gas training software, companies not only guarantee the safety of their employees but also increase productivity by avoiding disruptions caused by the improper use of tools. Some more advanced solutions provide virtual reality or augmented reality functionality for immersive training.
This type of software usually integrates with human resources (HR) solutions in order to transfer information on skills, experience, or job requirements between systems. Large oil and gas training products often integrate with learning management systems to provide advanced training.
To qualify for inclusion in the Oil and Gas Training category, a product must:
- Deliver training on multiple devices like computers, smartphones, or tablets
- Update training materials to take into account changes in the industry
- Provide certificates when required and track expiration dates
- Map personnel job requirements with the appropriate training courses
- Provide access to technical documentation and simulations for heavy equipment training
- Include competency tests and evaluation features for oil and gas operations
