IWCF Drilling Well Control L2 – (Oilfield Units) e-learning
This e-learning course will provide drilling personnel with the basic understanding of well control. Progressing junior staff can get a solid background and knowledge of why well control is essential, how well control is maintained, what are the indicators for well control to be lost, and how to regain the lost control.
To successfully achieve an IWCF Level 2 certificate using online learning, candidates must:
- Successfully complete the online training modules
- Pass a level 2 IWCF assessment (via an invigilated virtual assessment) with a score of 70% or more within 6 months of completing the online training modules.
Note: Once you have completed the e-learning modules, you will be able to download your completion certificate. You must complete the e-learning and use this certificate of completion to book and arrange your invigilated assessment, which will be conducted virtually by Maersk Training. Your e-learning course joining instructions will provide all the required information and contact details to book the virtual assessment. If necessary, the written assessment can be completed onsite in one of our IWCF accredited centres around the world, but please note that this will involve an additional charge.
