Built by Knowledge. Driven by Experience.
With over 35 years of combined field and training experience, CDF Training LLC was founded by professionals who’ve lived it — on the rig floor, in the shop, and on the job.
Meet the Founders
Douglas Fenner
- Certified Professional in Training Management (CPTM)
- 20+ years in drilling, well control, and competency program design
- Industry instructor and training manager for IADC-accredited programs

Together, Douglas and Chris built CDF Training LLC to bridge the gap between compliance and competence — providing training that builds skill, confidence, and safety for every worker.
Our Philosophy: Training That Sticks.
Training shouldn’t end when the class does — it should carry over to every shift, every job, and every decision.
At CDF Training LLC, our philosophy is simple:
- Hands-On Learning: Real skills can’t be taught from behind a desk.
- Experience-Driven Instruction: Every trainer has worked the job they teach.
- Repeatable, Reliable, Real: Our courses ensure consistent, measurable outcomes across teams.
“Train like it matters, because it does.”
