<p style="text-align:justify">Overview<br />
The aim of the IWCF Level 3 (Operator) Well Intervention Pressure Control course is to develop the candidate&rsquo;s knowledge and understanding of well intervention pressure control. The Level 3 course focuses on the duties and responsibilities of an individual working at operator level. The course includes compulsory training and assessment in Completion Equipment and Completion Operations; with optional modules including Coiled Tubing Operations, Wireline Operations, and Snubbing Operations (at least one of the optional modules must be selected).</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Designed For<br />
The Level 3 (Operator) Well Intervention Pressure Control training and certification is recommended for those working in roles such as Operators in Wireline, Coiled Tubing, or Snubbing Operations, and others with a requirement to hold an IWCF certificate.<br />
Programme Objective<br />
This programme is for people who are in critical well control positions during well intervention operations. Candidates will complete an accredited training course, taught according to IWCF syllabus, to prepare for their assessment.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Different levels of training are available and are valid for the following lengths of time:</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Level 3 training - If passed, the certificate is valid for 2 years.<br />
The learning element of a Level 2 course can be completed online, however the assessment must be completed at an accredited training centre. For Level 3 and 4 courses, both the learning and assessment elements must be completed at an accredited training centre.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Our Well Intervention Pressure Control (WIPC) Subsea module was created to enhance the existing WIPC syllabus. Although this module is primarily aimed at Level 4 candidates, it is also available for Level 3 candidates who have experience of Subsea well intervention operations.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Programme Structure<br />
Three different levels of Well Intervention Pressure Control training are available for different roles within the industry:</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Level 3 - Available for any role expected to shut in a well (equivalent to previous Level 1)<br />
The standard of certification in this programme is based on the pressure control knowledge required to work as service equipment operators and supervisory personnel. These standards have been created so that candidate&rsquo;s knowledge can be assessed systematically.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The following certification options are available and are made up of compulsory and optional components:</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Completion Operations (compulsory)<br />
Completion Equipment (compulsory)<br />
Coiled Tubing Operations (optional)<br />
Wireline Operations (optional)<br />
Snubbing Operations (optional).<br />
Candidates must attempt both compulsory components and one or more optional components in a combined certification programme. To achieve a combined certificate, candidates must pass all components they have been nominated for.</p>
