Modular Approach
We don’t isolate training topics into disconnected modules — our approach is modular and interconnected. This ensures trainees understand how systems work together, reflecting how real operations function.
Trainee-Led,
Not Trainer-Heavy
Designed to run with minimal oversight. Trainees know what they need to learn, have the right reference material, and progress at their own pace — reducing the burden on already-stretched training staff.
Deep Bench of SMEs
With experts in both technical disciplines and training program development, we bring industry-leading insight to help fill SME gaps on your site.
Job-Specific,
Not “Nice to Know”
We focus on what operators need to know to do their jobs safely and effectively. This targeted content makes qualification faster and more meaningful, avoiding unnecessary theory or generic overviews.

Quick answers to common questions and key facts about our services.
Whether your company aims to enhance and streamline its qualification program for petrochemical and refinery operators, safeguard institutional knowledge amid workforce changes, or implement a more organized and strategic approach to employee development, Becht's Operator Qualification Program is the ideal solution.
For the initial development, Becht assembles a multidisciplinary team to create the foundational technical content. This team typically includes former operators with relevant unit experience or similar expertise, along with technical writers, curriculum designers, engineers, client’s subject matter experts, and others. The team is led by a project manager with extensive experience in training solutions and implementation.
While some concepts and fundamentals may be generic due to their nature, the training is fully customized for each client based on unit-specific considerations and particular training needs.
Becht works with the client's subject matter experts to ensure the technical content is accurate and relevant to the unit. Two to three revision cycles are usually needed to ensure not only technical accuracy but also to encourage team participation and ownership on the client end.
If you're not exactly sure what you need to invest effectively in your most valuable asset—your personnel—Becht recommends starting with a gap analysis. This helps you understand how your current training and performance compare to other organizations and best practices. Based on the findings, we provide targeted, scalable training recommendations to help close those gaps.
Becht can provide external subject matter experts to facilitate the development of the material and ensure technical accuracy.
Absolutely. From the very beginning, this is an excellent opportunity to set your training initiatives on the right path by leveraging Becht’s expertise in adult learning methodologies and training solutions. Becht will collaborate with EPC companies and commissioning engineers to ensure the training content is accurate and that the program effectively prepares the workforce to safely start and operate the units.
Yes. All files are provided at the end of the project, and content ownership is transferred to the document manager onsite.
The duration depends on the number of units. For the context of this question, a unit includes one console job position and one or two field positions. It can take 4 to 6 months to complete all the technical content, assuming that the client's subject matter experts are equally involved and collaborate according to the recommended schedule.
It depends on the scale of support needed. For one-time offerings that require minimal customization, a few alignment sessions and some site-specific examples may be sufficient. However, for full-scale programs, long-term success and sustainability are much more likely when the client is involved in all phases of development and revision. Ideally, clients should dedicate resources to serve as subject matter experts to ensure the content, exercises, and scenarios accurately reflect the realities of their units and operations.
