Tennessee Valley Training Center (TVTC) was formed in 2000 by Decatur area Industries and Contractors to provide consistent, standardized training to help create safer workplaces through well-trained-workforces. The TVTC is a 501c3 non-profit organization.
The TVTC is a proud Premium Accredited Provider of “PRESCA” and exclusively delivers Safety Essentials for seamless on-boarding and ongoing PSM-compliance training. By sharing best practices and implementing rigorous validation processes, PRESCA delivers trusted solutions that prioritize safety and unifies stakeholders in creating a stronger, more resilient industry.


PRESCA was created from a need to unite like-minded councils and industry organizations for the continuous improvement of safety, site specific and general safety training. Safety Essentials is the most widely accepted PSM compliance course nationwide, accepted at over 500 sites and by 95% of the top Eligible U.S. Refineries. Safety Essentials reciprocal courses, designed by industry experts and grounded in proven adult learning principles, resonates with all five generations in today’s workforce.
Members and clients rely primarily on sessions conducted in the TVTC classrooms for safety orientation; however, through special arrangements, orientations for large groups can be conducted at a member site provided adequate facilities are available.
