Dear Member,
Attached is a draft of the new WIPC Level 2, 3 and 4 Syllabus to be introduced in January
2014.
The syllabus represents the first stage in aligning Well Control training to the OGP
Recommendations for the enhancements to Well Control training, examination and
certification (Report No. 476, October 2012).
Level 2 is new.
Level 3 is equivalent to the old level 1.
Level 4 is equivalent to the old level 2.
It is sent out in its current draft format to;
-
Please note that syllabus sections referring to NORSOK D10 are optional.
Please send your comments by 9th December 2013. Appropriate minor comments may be
included prior to January 2014. Others will be included in the first major review mid 2014.
Written examinations at levels 3 and 4 will reflect the content of this syllabus from January
2014.
Centres are invited to submit suggestions for questions, particularly in the new categories.
A subea/light intervention option will be introduced in 2014.
For examination implementation dates please refer to Information Notice 2013-09.
Yours sincerely
David Price

Finalised WIPC L2-4 syllabus and revised timing for implementation of the new
WIPC L2-4 syllabus and examinations
Dear Member,
Further to Information Notice 2013-09 Timescale for implementation of the OGP
Recommendations, I write to advise you of a change to the original timescales for Well
Intervention Pressure Control: Levels 2-4.
A number of Centres have raised concern about the scale of change to the WIPC syllabus
and have indicated that they require more time to develop quality training. We have also had
significant input to and revision of the WIPC draft syllabus most notably at the IWCF Well
Intervention Workshop held in December.
We have now issued a finalised syllabus, version 6.1 as attached, which takes into account
Member feedback and better reflects current practice.
Due to the scale of the revisions to the draft syllabus, and the request for additional time from
Centres, we will now start OGP-compliant WIPC Level 3 and 4 exams from the end of March,
at the same time as the WIPC Level 2 exams. This will give Centres time to modify their
training programmes and enables IWCF to introduce a substantially improved WIPC
programme in its entirety.
We will continue to collate questions relating to OGP 476 implementation for publication on
the IWCF website as Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). To submit questions, and any
other queries, please contact admin@iwcf.org.
IWCF always seeks to deliver the highest standards in well control training and will continue
to work with the OGP and our members to raise standards across the industry.
Yours sincerely
David Price
Chief Executive Officer
