Atlas Interactive recognises that competence assurance of personnel within the oil and gas industry is key to reducing risk, providing a safe working environment, and identifying training requirements. To this end, Atlas Interactive has been proactive in providing competence assurance consultancy services to various clients in the industry.

Within the Atlas Interactive organisation we have the capability to meet all your competency requirements. Our trained and qualified competence consultants have been involved in competence assurance since the mid 1990s and have been instrumental in developing and implementing competence systems for a number of clients in the UK, Netherlands, Norway, Malaysia, Equatorial Guinea, Trinidad, UAE, Canada and Australia. As part of the competence assurance system development, we are able to produce traditional paper-based systems or cutting edge paperless electronic systems with full reporting capability.

We are able to offer a total service to new build projects and have the capability to provide the following:
