Abstract: A practical, meaningful, and comprehensive training program in an appropriate learning environment is essential to fully develop the human resource. (1) This is particularly applicable to field measurement personnel in the natural gas industry. Natural gas measurement is a very specialized and technical field. With varying energy costs, improved and rapidly advancing technologies, and the changing business environment, the old process of on-thejoy training by passing doisTi tricks of the trade from one generation to the next is no longer affordable, efficient, or accurate. (1) This old process is inadequate in that it usually includes only routine functions on equipment (eg., inspection, testing, calibration, etc.). Non-routine functions on equipment (eg., theory of operation, troubleshooting, repair, etc.) are often ommitted from this old process. With this type of training and when on his own, the new measurement technician could be placed in precarious stituation resulting in unsafe conditions or loss of delivery service. Comprehensive training of field measurement personnel bridges this gap. Todays mcas-irement technician experiences an increase in responsibilities and must have a broader and more detailed knowledge of a vast variety of equipment. Comprehensive training of field measurement personnel becomes of paramount importance.
