page last updated 16 February 2008

 
The Forum introduced the Rotary Drilling Well Control Assessment and Certification programme for Surface BOP stack operations in January 1993.

In April 1994 the programme was extended to include a Combined Surface/Subsea BOP stack programme.

A Well Intervention Pressure Control certification programme covering Wireline, Coiled Tubing and Snubbing Operations was introduced in April 1998. To date this programme has been accredited at 88 locations in 18 countries and is rapidly establishing itself as the de-facto certification programme for well service personnel.

By end December 2006 over 100,000 candidates had sat an IWCF programme at more than 200 locations in 60 countries in every continent of the world, and in up to 16 different languages.
