The Competence Management System Review Workshop provides practical competence management training to help organisations evaluate the effectiveness of their existing competence management systems (CMS). It focuses on identifying strengths, gaps, and opportunities for improvement to ensure systems are aligned with regulatory expectations and industry best practice.

With increasing scrutiny from the HSE and COMAH Competent Authority on workforce competence, the workshop supports organisations in strengthening compliance, improving assurance, and demonstrating that competence is being effectively managed across safety-critical roles. It provides a structured approach to reviewing CMS maturity and identifying clear actions for improvement.
