The IADC WellSharp Supervisor Level Drilling course including the
Workover/Completions supplement is designed for drilling personnel working in
a supervisory role and engaged in completion and workover operations.
Prerequisites
Prior IADC or IWCF certification at Driller or Supervisor Level is required. The
training is role-specific so previous experience in a supervisory role during
drilling operations is assumed. Please contact us to discuss candidate
suitability if you have any doubts or queries.
