<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000"><strong>Overview</strong><br />
The IADC WellSharp Supervisor Level 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 the Driller Level course content (including kick detection and shut-in) and focus on more complex aspects of well control and well kill methodology.</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000"><strong>Designed For</strong><br />
The IADC WellSharp &ldquo;Well Control for Drilling Operations &ndash; for Supervisors&rdquo; course has been designed for toolpushers, drilling engineers, drilling supervisors, superintendents, drilling foremen, company men and others with a requirement to hold an accredited well control certificate at Supervisory level. The training is role-specific and is focused on well kill procedures.</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000"><strong>Course Delivery</strong><br />
The course is delivered over 5 days through presentation of a series of interactive lectures supported by videos and animations, supplemented by a classroom workbook and further self-study exercises and practical work on a drilling simulator.&nbsp;</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000">Under the WellSharp programme and unlike IWCF training, IADC Supervisor Level candidates are taught completely separately from IADC Driller Level candidates and will not be in a mixed class. The course ends with an online assessment on the final day which will be administered by IADC and invigilated by an independent proctor.</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000">IADC is proud to offer&nbsp;<em>WellSharp</em>-a revolutionary well control training and assessment program. The result of a collaborative industry effort, the&nbsp;<em>WellSharp</em>&nbsp;program emphasizes rigorous training for every person with well control responsibilities, whether office- or rig-based.</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000">Trainees gain more in-depth knowledge, well-honed role-specific skills, and a greater confidence that they know what to do to prevent incidents or, in the unforeseen event of a well control incident, respond swiftly and appropriately.</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000">The&nbsp;<em>WellSharp</em>&nbsp;program, which evolved from WellCAP, was created at the request of industry.&nbsp;<em>WellSharp</em>represents an industry-led effort to redefine well control training and assessment. IADC members-representing operators, drilling contractors, well servicing companies, professional trainers, and well control specialists-developed the&nbsp;<em>WellSharp</em>&nbsp;program in collaboration with the&nbsp;<em>WellSharp</em>&nbsp;Advisory Panel, the IADC Well Control Committee, and other industry groups. The content-specific workgroups set quality benchmarks and criteria to ensure that accredited training providers adhere to a core curriculum and to content delivery and assessment requirements.</span></span></p>
