If anyone thinking to sit for IADC/IWCF well control course to boost their career (which I dont know it happens or not), I suggest you have/read some basic drilling knowledge and principles and also the well control equipments.
Secondly, please choose the correct training provider. Some instructors will teach you how to answer the exam questions without telling the theory behind it and this will make you struggle. And if you want, I suggest you start with IADC first...
I'm not telling that you will not pass the exam but for your benefit especially for those who are self-sponsored,I hope you dont risk your usd2000 for something that you will just stressed your mind thinking to only pass the exam.
Just sharing...
people always think take this cert that cert but not evaluating are they suitable mentally and technically before proceed?
IADC/IWCF requires someone with technically strong in engineering/science + basic concept in maths + USC units (in M'sia education system, we are using SI units, take times to adjust to USC) + psychomotor skills for simulations before can take especially for the supervisor level.
the same applies to the NDT and CWSIP and API certifications. i have encountered many NDT Level II which are "doer" instead of "thinker" on what they are doing is correct or ?!?!
sometimes, i have doubts on certain NDT Level II how they pass their certs?!?!
