Competency is a BIG word
At Risknowlogy, we define competency as a person’s capability to do something adequately. How a person does something appropriately we measure in four ways:
Follow
Gain
Knowlege
Attending the training is not enough. To demonstrate competency, you should prove that you gained the knowledge. Take, for example, an exam to prove that you acquired the knowledge.
Practical Experience
Training and knowledge must be complemented by practical experience to demonstrate competency. Show that you have hands-on experience.
Personal Attributes
You need to naturally have the right personal attributes to succeed. Training, knowledge and practical experience cannot replace talent and passion for the job.
Three Distinct Competency Certification Programs
To prove your competency to whoever needs to know, we support you with three competency certifications that add value to your career.
Certification of people
Knowledge Certification
All our advanced training courses come with exams and personal certification. You take the training, study, pass the exam, and get a knowledge certificate.
Certification of people
Role certification
Gaining and demonstrating that you acquired the knowledge is one thing. The next step is to confirm what you have learned in theory you can also apply in practice in a specific professional role.
Certification of people
Field certification
Field certification applies to the entire field of functional safety. You can apply for field certification if you are a functional safety practitioner and want your practical experience in functional safety to be certified.
your title matters and makes a difference
Certification titles
Our valuable knowledge, role or field certificates come with distinct and clear certification titles. These certification titles have been carefully selected to reflect what the certification truly represents.
Knowledge Certification Titles
Certified Technician
Risknowlogy certified technicians work in the “field” of a plant, factory, or train. They are the technicians that maintain, repair, and test equipment related to safety functions and systems. They actually might have the most important job of all when it comes to safety systems.
Certified Operator
Risknowlogy certified operators work in the control room of a plant or factory. The operator operates the equipment that makes the plant or factory produce products. As such, they also deal with the safety systems' operation and often work together with certified field technicians.
CertIfied Specialist
Risknowlogy certified specialists are people who specialise in a particular field of study. At Risknowlogy, we use the word specialist for those who are not Operators nor Technicians but are involved in the design and improvement of the plant, factory, or process. What they design must be operated and maintained by certified operators and technicians.
Role and Field Certification Titles
