MDS Academy delivers internationally recognised IWCF and IADC Well Intervention and Well Servicing training programmes for personnel involved in intervention, completion, production, workover and well maintenance operations.
Our programmes are designed for engineers, supervisors, well intervention specialists and operational personnel responsible for maintaining, restoring and optimising well performance throughout the life of the well.
Unlike Well Control certification pathways, Well Intervention certification is structured around operational disciplines. Candidates select the modules most relevant to their role and are assessed accordingly.
Candidates must successfully complete a recertification programme before expiry to maintain their certification status.
Assessment Methods:
Before each course, candidates receive a pre-course Evaluation Assessment through our CAT (Continuous Adaptive Training) platform, helping identify knowledge gaps and maximise training effectiveness.
Final certification examinations are delivered by the relevant accreditation body and are based on the disciplines selected by the candidate.
