About us

Starting 2001, OComp has served the offshore, maritime and fish sectors in Norway with a broad spectrum of competence enhancing activities like training, competence management, consulting and R&D.

Our vision

Our vision is to be a Competence Provider.

If new knowledge does exist we bring the knowledge to our customers in an understandable and efficient way.
If new knowledge does not exist we acquire it through R&D projects based on acknowledged scientific methods.

New competence

When Knowledge + Skills + Attitudes creates durably changed behaviour, new competence has been attained. This is the basic rule of all our course activity.

Competence is a key success factor in tomorrow’s workplace and a foundation to succeed in the Green Shift

How does OComp stand out as a course supplier?

Local courses, close to home.

Typically, other course suppliers have course facilities on fixed locations with stationary equipment. OComp on the other hand has 23 approved course centres along the Norwegian coastline, on places where the demand for courses is fulfilled by arranging courses a few times per year.

Specialist competence

Our background in R&D within HSE gives us a significant competitive advantage by knowing the latest research in practice, theory and technology at all levels of the hierarchy so that our instructors can convey cutting edge knowledge to our course participants.

Advanced technology and easy interface

OComp’s management and booking systems has since it’s start in 2002 been the most advanced in the Norwegian market, and has been used both for inhouse courses and for reselling courses for suppliers throughout Norway.

Practical experience

OComps instructors all have solid industry experience on all levels withing practical execution and management.

User friendly technology for participants

We use e-learning on most of our courses, which saves several days of physical attendance on location, and thus cuts cost and travel expenses. E-learning utilises acknowledged pedagogical tools, and the feedback from participants is satisfactory.
