RIG COMMAND AND CONTROL
RIG WATCH PRACTICE™
Practise on day one. Take the formal OPITO CROER assessment on day two.
Poseidon Training in-house programme. It is not an OPITO product, it is not OPITO-approved and it carries no external accreditation.
Overview
Rig Watch Practice™ is Poseidon's own practice day for candidates about to take the OPITO Control Room Operator Emergency Response (CROER) assessment at Poseidon Training. It runs the day before the assessment, so the candidate meets the control room, the simulator and the communications before the day that counts.
It is designed particularly for candidates who are new to the assessment environment or to Poseidon's facilities.
The practice day
- A briefing on the CROER criteria and how the assessment runs
- Familiarisation with the control room, simulator and communications
- Two practice emergency scenarios in the Control Room Operator role
- A facilitated debrief after each scenario
- Written feedback on strengths and development points
The candidate receives a Poseidon Training certificate of attendance. Practice feedback does not form part of the formal assessment decision.
