    IADC WellSharp well control training supplemented with the use of a well control simulator. This program is for the Driller or the Supervisor level according to the standards of the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC). The course covers subsea as well as surface blowout preventer installations and equipment. The objectives of the course are:

    • Teach the principles and procedures used in well control operations with a surface or subsea BOP stack as described in the IADC Well Sharp Syllabus.
    • Use the equipment for well control operations with surface or subsea BOP stack as described in the IADC Well Sharp Syllabus.
    • Lear that a well control situation can be mastered by use of simulator according to IADC standards.
    • Prepare the candidate for exams which will qualify for certification 
    • Note that this course may be offered either at the Driller level (Level 3) or the Supervisor level (Level 4)
    Day 1

    • Practical assessment test with simulator.
    • When not involved with the practical assessments, participants will be completing quiz tests.
    • Self-Study (using question bank) to prepare for written examinations

    Course review and open discussion

    Day 5
    • Group study - to facilitate questions/queries and discussions prior to written examination

    Assessment – IADC Well sharp online Exam 

    Note: Successful exam scores (70% - 100%) will qualify candidate for IADC WellSharp certificate.  Scores of 50% - 69% will allow candidate to retake the exam and scores less than 50% will be considered fail and the candidate will have to repeat the training and exams. 

    Driller level (Level 3) is intended for those persons working as Driller, Assistant Driller or other persons needing to learn about well control. 

    Supervisor level (Level 4) is intended for those persons either normally working at the rig or in the office who are responsible for the supervision of well control activities. Participants in the Supervisor level training must have previously completed the Driller level training.
