<p>The IWCF Level 4 Drilling Well Control course is essential training for those working in wellsite supervisory roles and for office-based personnel that are primarily involved in the operational decision-making process and/or well design. The course aims to build on Level 3 course content (including kick detection and shut-in) and focus on more complex aspects of well control and well kill methodology. This programme is designed for people in critical well control positions on drilling installations as well as onshore roles. The candidates will complete an IWCF accredited training course, taught according to IWCF syllabus, in order to prepare them for assessment.</p>

<p>Different levels of training require different examinations and are valid for varying lengths:</p>

<p>Level 4&nbsp; Consists of two written assessments and a practical assessment using simulator equipment. If passed, the certificate is valid for 2 years.<br />
Level 4 Well Site Supervisor Training (equivalent to old Supervisor level)<br />
Candidates can opt to undertake either Surface BOP operations or Combined Surface and Subsea operations.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Designed For<br />
The Level 4 (Supervisor) course is designed for anyone working in a supervisory role and involved in the well design and operational decision-making process of drilling, such as a Drilling Supervisor, Superintendent or Company Man, Tool Pusher, OIM, or Rig Manager<br />
Course Delivery<br />
The 5-day course is delivered through presentation of a series of interactive lectures supported by videos and animations, group discussion, and drilling simulation exercises, supplemented by a classroom workbook and further self-study exercises. Level 4 training may be partly combined with Level 3 training for common modules and during simulator-based training with each candidate assuming their respective role as per normal drilling operations.<br />
Certification<br />
Candidates may select either &ldquo;Combined&rdquo; (Surface &amp; Subsea) or &ldquo;Surface Only&rdquo; BOP Stack certification. Successful completion of the course and a pass mark of 70% or above in all IWCF practical and written assessments will result in IWCF Level 4 certification which is valid for two years.</p>
