Who Should Attend

All assistant drillers, drillers, tool-pushers and company representatives.

Course objective

IWCF certification is awarded when candidates pass tow or more invigilated examinations. Course consisting of Workover/Completion Principals and Procedures followed by specific well intervention equipment and operations.
The candidate may choose which certification, i.e. snubbing, or wireline, or coiled tubing he or she requires. Candidates are advised not to attempt to certify in more than one type of operation unless it is required for specific job duties because when attempting a combination of tow or more options, all options must be successfully completed before certification can be awarded.
