Appendix A – Level 5 Instructor Qualifications

To be accredited as a Level 5 instructor, applicant instructors must:
• Have the relevant technical knowledge (see Section 1 below): AND
• Be an accredited instructor and practical assessor for IWCF Drilling Well Control Level 4 OR
• Meet other requirements (see Section 2 below)

1. Technical Knowledge Requirements

Applicant instructors must:

Provide evidence that they have the relevant technical knowledge which they have achieved by employment, education and/or training. The
applicant instructor must have the following:
• Field experience in industry in a supervisory role for at least two years cumulative in a role which required a Level 4 IWCF
certificate (or equivalent), in one or more of the following disciplines: Drilling Supervisor, Superintendent or Company Man;
Workover Supervisor, Superintendent or Company Man; Completion Well-Site Supervisor, Superintendent or Company Man.

• Well Engineering design and programme writing experience for at least five years.

• A Bachelor of Science degree in a relevant subject, (for example, Petroleum Engineering) OR

• A relevant graduate training programme, examples of such programmes would be those held in-house by Shell (Round 1 and 2), BP,
and Schlumberger, Total and other operators and service providers.
2. Specialist Applicants

IWCF recognise the challenge training providers may face in sourcing suitable instructors that meet all of the above requirements and
deemed technically competent across the full well life cycle. Consequently, IWCF will consider additional instructor applicants (for
example certain topics can be delivered by an industry well integrity specialist without being an IWCF Drilling Well Control Level 4
instructor). Any additional applicants must demonstrate they can teach in a classroom environment.
Note: IWCF will only accept instructor applicants meeting Section 2 requirements when submitted in addition to the primary instructor
who must meet the requirements outlined in Section 1.
