Process Training Packages provide structured training materials developed to help personnel understand and competently operate process systems before taking responsibility for a new installation or when they are new to an existing facility. These packages ensure that operators, technicians, and support staff acquire the knowledge they need before going on shift or assuming operational duties.
Based on the content of your facility’s Operating Procedures, Operations Manuals, and Operating & Training Manuals, Orchid develops training solutions that accurately reflect real plant operations and align with your organisation’s training and competency requirements.
What Process Training Packages Are For
Process Training Packages are designed to:
- Prepare personnel for operation of a new or unfamiliar installation
- Reinforce safe, consistent operation aligned with approved procedures
- Support structured onboarding of new operators
- Provide a clear and standardised training pathway prior to full operational responsibility
These packages ensure that every participant develops the same baseline understanding of plant processes and system behaviour.
Training Packages are produced in conjunction with the client’s Trainers.
Who They’re For
- New operators and technicians
- Personnel transferring to a new plant area or system
- Operations and maintenance staff participating in refresher training
- Trainers delivering structured instruction
- Plant operators in high-hazard or process-critical environments
Why They Matter
Well-designed Process Training Packages:
- Reduce the learning curve for new personnel
- Improve operational confidence and reduce human-factor risks
- Reinforce correct procedures and safe system operation
- Support competency assessment and verification programmes
- Ensure consistent training across teams and shifts
Typical Contents of a Process Training Package
A standard Orchid Process Training Package typically contains the following elements:
1. Presentation
Delivered using a PC and a large screen or projector, combining text and graphical elements to explain system concepts, process flow, equipment function, and operational requirements.
2. Presentation Notes
A set of notes for Trainers to use alongside the Presentation, ensuring consistent delivery and explanation.
3. Problems and Exercises
Practical exercises designed to reinforce learning:
Attendee versions — includes questions, answer spaces, and references to where the required information can be found.
Trainer versions — includes questions, official answers, and reference sources.
4. Attendee Handouts
Take-away materials summarising the content taught in the presentation. These support continued learning after the training session.
5. e-Learning (Optional Alternative)
Instead of classroom?style delivery, Orchid can also produce the full training package as Computer Based Training (CBT) modules for self-paced digital learning.
