Certification
O-PAS Certification for EPC Engineers
Owner-operators are beginning to require O-PAS compliance in their RFQs — and most EPC I&C engineers have never been trained on it. Our EPC Engineering Track closes that gap with a three-tier certification program built specifically for project delivery: Awareness for leadership and proposals teams, Practitioner for I&C leads, and Project Lead for senior engineers managing O-PAS scope across a full lifecycle.
Three Certification Tiers
- O-PAS Awareness — half-day, for leadership and proposals
- O-PAS Practitioner — 2 days, for I&C leads and engineers
- O-PAS Project Lead — 5 days, for senior I&C and PEMs
