Welcome to COMPASS ONLINE!
The COMPASS ONLINE is a quiz based competency assessment system for Drilling and Completions personnel.
The system consists of several modules with multiple choice questions and true/false statements. The questions are developed by industry experts and focused on what should have been learned through experience – not at school. The quizzes were developed under the following guidelines:
- The questions need to be clear and easy to understand
- The answers should be non-disputable and not company or location specific
- A calculator or other aids should not be required
The competency assessment can be completed in two ways, either by online purchase of the modules or by contacting Protrust for special deals.
Modules
From a large and growing pool of questions, the quiz software is selecting a predetermined number of questions per module.
The current selection of modules are as follows:
