ALACHUA, Fla. — To stay current with industry practices and align to the revised API Recommended Practice 1161, NCCER is updating both its covered task list and Operator Qualification (OQ) materials in its Pipeline Training and Assessment Program. As materials are revised, all methods of qualification — training, assessments and Performance Verifications — will release at the same time in groupings of covered tasks called “series.” Due to the extensive nature of changes to API’s covered tasks, NCCER will maintain two covered task lists — Version 1.0 and Version 2.0 — throughout the update process.
NCCER’s Version 1.0 Covered Task List includes existing covered tasks and corresponding OQ materials, including curricula, written assessments and Performance Verifications. As new OQ materials become available for new covered tasks, they will be published on NCCER’s Version 2.0 Covered Task List. The older versions will still be available after the new OQ materials and covered tasks are announced.
