Message from the Management Team

September 24, 2025

Welcome to AWCC’s first industry newsletter. September wasn’t just another month for us — it was a showcase of innovation, recognition, and momentum that proves why AWCC continues to lead the way in workforce training.

Our mission is simple but powerful: to deliver training that is designed by industry, for industry — practical, compliant, and always aligned to workforce needs. What defines us is not only what we deliver today, but how we continually evolve to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Recognition & Milestones

We were proud to win the Innovation Award for the Turbo Program at the Surat Basin Energy Awards. Turbo has redefined how the industry prepares its workforce, producing compliant, work-ready graduates in just seven days. For the oil and gas community, this means faster access to skilled personnel; for the public, it means safer, more sustainable operations that strengthen the long-term resilience of the sector.

We’re also honoured to be finalists in two categories — Professional Services and Innovation — at the Business Excellence Awards. This nomination reinforces the trust placed in us to deliver quality outcomes that benefit both industry and the communities it supports.

This month, AWCC engaged across a range of industry and community events, from safety forums to innovation expos. These weren’t just networking opportunities — they were platforms where we shared our expertise and listened to industry challenges, ensuring our training remains responsive to real-world needs.

Building Capability

September also marked internal growth: welcoming a new trainer in our Brisbane office, launching Forklift training courses, and strengthening our resources and delivery systems. Each step increases our capacity to support both industry and community by creating more pathways into work and ensuring training is grounded in compliance and safety.

Why AWCC Leads

What sets AWCC apart is the rigor behind our delivery. Every program is built on four foundations:

SMEs with decades of real-world knowledge.

Continuous Improvement to integrate new technology, feedback, and regulations.

QA Systems to guarantee consistency and compliance.

Innovation through VR/AR/MR simulators and digital platforms that bring learning to life.

This approach ensures we’re not just delivering training — we’re solving industry problems by reducing skill shortages, improving safety, and strengthening community confidence.

Looking Ahead – Building for Tomorrow

While September brought recognition, the real story is what’s ahead. AWCC is actively investing in projects that address industry challenges while delivering broader benefits:

Well Intervention Programs – supporting advanced operations, ensuring safe, competent crews for complex tasks.

Turbo Cert III – the next evolution of Turbo, offering deeper skills to create job-ready graduates who can contribute immediately on site.

Sub-Sea IWCF Simulators – tackling the challenge of offshore readiness with world-class simulation, reducing risk while boosting competence.

Plant & Equipment Training (Scissor Lift, under-11m Boom EWP) – meeting demand for practical tickets that improve employability and site safety.

Heights Rescue – addressing critical emergency response needs and ensuring work at height is managed with the highest safety standards.

IWCF Online Resources – making world-class well control learning accessible globally, helping companies upskill teams faster and more efficiently.

Continuous Resource Development – ensuring all AWCC programs stay current, practical, and compliant.

Industry

Safer, more compliant operations across drilling, well servicing, and high-risk environments.

Reduced skill shortages by delivering graduates who can contribute from day one.

Cutting-edge simulation (Sub-Sea IWCF, VR/AR/MR) reduces risk while boosting competence.

Workforce

Faster pathways into jobs with nationally recognised, work-ready qualifications.

Access to advanced training (Turbo Cert III, IWCF Online) that supports career progression.

Exposure to real-world equipment and rescue training (Forklift, Heights Rescue, EWP).

Community

Stronger local economies through employment and training opportunities.

Increased confidence that operations are underpinned by safety and compliance.

Sustainable growth in the energy sector, ensuring long-term benefits for regions.

Each initiative has been carefully chosen to solve pressing challenges: skill gaps, compliance pressures, safety risks, and workforce accessibility. By investing in these areas, AWCC is not just supporting the oil and gas community — we’re helping build safer worksites, stronger companies, and sustainable opportunities for the public.

At AWCC, the future isn’t coming. We’re building it right now.

Our Commitment

What defines AWCC is not just achievement — it’s the integrity, quality, and continual improvement at the heart of everything we do.

With SMEs guiding our development, QA ensuring uncompromising standards, and innovation shaping our future, AWCC is committed to preparing the workforce of today and tomorrow.

This first newsletter is more than a recap — it’s an invitation. The milestones we’ve shared are just the beginning, and we look forward to sharing more with you in the months ahead.

Train by Industry, for Industry.
