<p style="text-align:justify">IWCF Drilling Well Control&nbsp; Level 3 Course</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The IWCF Level 3 Drilling Well Control course is essential training for those currently working in a role that is expected to shut-in a well. The course aims to reinforce and improve the candidate&rsquo;s existing knowledge and appreciation of the various stages of shutting-in a well; from kick detection to shutting in the well, to monitoring once the well is shut in and monitoring the well-kill operation.The Level 3 (Driller) course is designed for anyone expected to shut-in a well in case of unintended or unexpected flow, such as drillers and assistant drillers.<br />
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 style="text-align:justify">Different levels of training require different examinations and are valid for varying lengths:</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Level 3 - Consists of two written assessments and a practical assessment using simulator equipment. If passed, the certificate is valid for 2 years.<br />
Level 3 - Available for any role expected to shut in a well (equivalent to old Driller level)<br />
Candidates can opt to undertake either Surface BOP operations or Combined Surface and Subsea operations.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">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 3 training may be partly combined with Level 4 training for common modules and during simulator-based training with each candidate assuming their respective role as per normal drilling operations.</p>
