Course programme

Objectives
The SCO training consists of six courses, each course specifically tailored to meet individual operational competence requirements.

The courses being:

  • SCO 1 & 2 - Competent Persons (ROs/Team Leaders)
  • SCO 1 & 2 - Authorising Engineers and Competent Persons (NROs supervisory level)
  • SCO 4 - Authorising Engineers and Competent Persons (NROs)
  • SCO 4 & 5 - Authorising Engineers and Competent Persons (NROs)
  • SCO 5 - Authorising Engineers and Competent Persons (ROs)
  • SCO 1 & 5 - Originators of Routine Operations

Important Note:
Successful completion of any of the above SCO training courses DOES NOT infer competence sufficient to carry out any particular role.

The Employer's Responsible Engineer(s) must ensure a person's role (e.g. Authorising Engineer) and work type (e.g.Network >2bar -7bar) is correctly identified and communicated to EU Skills for registration on the SCO database.

For example a person may have a role as an Authorising Engineer for PtW/FOA and ROs but limited to Competent person for NROs, in which case he/she would be expected to complete SCO1 and 2 AEs and CPs plus SCO4 and 5 AEs and CPs

Duration
1-3 DAYS (DEPENDING ON UNITS BEING COMPLETED)
