Level 1: Human Performance Pathway for the Energy Sector

The Human Performance Pathway for the Energy Sector is an industry-recognised qualification to build human performance capability in your organisation. Level 1 of the pathway is a 50-60 hour self-paced online course that teaches the basics of how to manage human performance day-to-day and is a good starting point for those wanting to become human performance practitioners.

This course encourages you to improve your ability to manage human performance with a ‘learning by doing’ approach. Learners carry out practical tasks, such as carrying out a review of a task or procedure, reviewing a task that involves communications, and assessing the usability of a piece of equipment. Alongside these practical exercises, the course consists of reading materials (‘basic’ level), desktop exercises, and end of module exams. There are nine modules that are required to be completed.

Level 1 is targeted towards supervisors, managers, and others with a role in managing safety and managing other people. Once you have completed Level 1, you will receive a certificate of completion and you may wish to consider signing up to Level 2.

What is human performance?

Human performance is about what people do as part of a system to help manage risk and keep us safe, it’s about understanding the human factors involved with how people interact with plant, equipment, processes and each other. All major hazard industries rely on high levels of human performance to improve safety and reliability.
