IWCF Drilling Well Control Syllabus Level 3 and 4
Guidance Notes
1.1. Introduction
We recommend personnel in the following positions should attend the appropriate level of training and assessment:
Level 2: Operation Team personnel - well-site based position whose action or inaction could directly influence well control assurance.
Level 3: Equipment Operator - has to perform an action to prevent or respond to well control accident.
Level 4: Supervisor - specifies and has oversight that correct actions are carried out.
The level 2 Drilling Well control training course must be a minimum 20 hours, excluding examination time.
The level 3 and level 4 Drilling Well Control training courses must be a minimum of 32 hours, excluding examination time.
A course can have a maximum of 15 candidates on a training course (depending on room size/facilities/Assessors).
1.5. When can a candidate move on from Level 2 to Level 3 and then to Level 4?
Level 3 Drilling training courses may be partly combined with the Level 4 Drilling course.
If there is a syllabus learning outcome at Level 2, but not at levels 3 and/or 4, this indicates that IWCF believes Level 3 and 4 candidates should
already have thorough knowledge of this syllabus category.
If there is a syllabus learning outcome for Level 3 but not at Level 4, this indicates IWCF believes all Level 4 candidates should already have thorough
knowledge of this syllabus category.
If Level 3 and Level 4 Drilling Well Control training courses are partially combined, Level 3 candidates should spend time on training to improve
detection and immediate response skills while the Level 4 candidates are taught advanced well control operations.
IWCF recommends a minimum three-month period to build further industry experience and competence before the candidate moves onto the next
level. It is unacceptable for a Level 3 candidate to be enrolled on a Level 4 course at the same time.
IWCF expects candidates knowledge and understanding of basic drilling well control to be developed so that they can competently perform their
assigned well control duties. It is insufficient for any candidate on any level of the course to be coached to pass the assessment.
The quality of teaching must evolve to ensure learning objectives are met. Training must be taught in line with the stipulated syllabus and it will not be
sufficient to base training on test-similar or test-identical exam questions to help personnel pass the written exam. (IOGP Report 476).
The learning objectives in the syllabus are based on the content (subject matter) the instructor has to teach to meet the requirements of this level. The
use of the wording learning objective is in line with the IOGP Report 476 and is a broad overview statement of what the student will be taught during
the course.
Example:
During the course, the student will gain an understanding of: Standard Well control methods.
Learning outcomes have been developed for each of the learning objectives contained in the syllabus. The outcome indicates how each learning
objective will be fulfilled with a detailed description of the skills a student must have at the end of the course. These learning outcomes are the basis
for assessment questions.
Example:
By the end of the course, the student will be able to: Define and list kill and control methods.
2.5. Coding
All learning outcomes have an importance level which is displayed in the far right column of the syllabus. The importance is based on the criticality
factor - the potential risk of a candidate not holding the knowledge. The levels shown below are based on the potential risk of the candidate not
having the knowledge:
The Level 3 and Level 4 Drilling Well control courses are based on:
- Written assessments
- A practical assessment.
