IADC KSAS
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITY
FOR RIG CREWS AND RIG SUPERVISORY PERSONNEL

1 June 2000
Foreword
PURPOSE OF THE KSAs
The IADC Training Committee developed the Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs) templates to assist the
drilling industry in formulating and conducting training courses designed for drilling personnel. The templates
represent the basic knowledge, skills and abilities deemed appropriate by the Training Committee, by job
position. In addition to the templates provided by job position, a general KSA with respect to Health, Safety and
the Environment (HSE) matters, was also developed.
TEMPLATE USAGE
Interested parties are encouraged to utilize the KSAs as the framework for developing and/or evaluating in-
house or commercial training programs. An example HSE KSA is provided on the following pages. The
template is divided into three (3) sections. The Knowledge section specifies the subject to be addressed, such
as Health, Safety and Environmental Policies and Procedures. The second section, Skills/Ability, details the
individual skills and abilities necessary for an employee to master the Knowledge in question. The third and final
section, Performance Measurement, will reflect each party's (drilling contractor or commercial trainer) means
of measuring the performance of the employees involved in the training. This section is purposely left blank to
allow each party to set their own unique measurements based on their individual training methods, local
regulations and company policies and programs. For explanation purposes, the Performance Measurement
section on the enclosed example HSE KSA has been completed in very basic terms to provide guidance on the
intent and usage of this section. KSA accreditation by the IADC is not expressed or implied.
DISCLAIMER
The KSAs are of a general nature and do not encompass all circumstances, laws or regulations. Information as
to health, safety and environmental risks and means of addressing same should be obtained from each
individual employer. The IADC makes no representation, warranty or guarantee in connection with the KSAs or
their instructions, and hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for loss or damage of any kind or
nature resulting from the use of this publication or its instructions, or for any violation of any law or regulation
with which these publications may conflict, address or impact.
