What’s Coming to AWCC in 2026: Bigger Programs, Better Facilities, Stronger Outcomes

December 3, 2025

As 2025 draws to a close, AWCC is gearing up for one of our biggest years yet. With new training programs, facility upgrades, and expanded pathways for both new entrants and experienced industry professionals, 2026 is set to deliver more opportunities, more capability, and more support than ever before.

Here’s a first look at what’s coming to AWCC in the new year.

Launching Our New Purpose-Built FTU for Advanced Training

We are proud to announce the completion of AWCC’s newly developed Training FTU (Fluid Transfer Unit), a major upgrade to our practical training capability and a key component in preparing students for real-world oil and gas operations.

The FTU has been purpose-built to support hands-on learning in:

✓ Fluid handling and circulation systems

✓ Pressure control fundamentals

✓ Pump operations

✓ Line-up procedures and safe transfer practices

✓ Identifying hazards and managing risks associated with fluid movement on a rig or well servicing site

This new training asset allows students to develop genuine field-ready competency by working with equipment and scenarios that replicate actual industry conditions.

The FTU will play a crucial role in supporting the delivery of our upcoming Turbo 3 Program (Certificate III in Oil & Gas Drilling (Onshore) and Well Servicing) — ensuring graduates gain practical, confidence-building experience before stepping into higher-responsibility roles on site.

This investment reinforces AWCC’s commitment to delivering the most realistic, industry-aligned training environment available in Australia.

Turbo 3 Is Coming: Certificate III in Oil & Gas Drilling (Onshore) and Well Servicing

Following the strong success of our Turbo Program, AWCC will launch Turbo 3 in 2026 — an accelerated pathway to the Certificate III in Oil & Gas Drilling (Onshore) and Well Servicing.

Turbo 3 will provide:

✓ A nationally recognised qualification aligned with real industry needs

✓ Structured practical components using the new FTU

✓ Fast-tracked training designed to prepare students for immediate employment

✓ A clear progression pathway for workers advancing from entry-level roles

This program is built for those ready to take the next step in their career and move into higher-responsibility field positions.

More details, dates, and enrolment options will be announced early in 2026.

Expanded IWCF Well Intervention Training in 2026

To support the growing demand for upskilling in well servicing and completions, AWCC will be expanding our IWCF Well Intervention training options next year.

This includes training across key domains such as:

Coiled tubing, wireline, snubbing and completion operations

Delivered by highly experienced instructors and supported by AWCC’s dedicated training facilities, our Well Intervention programs ensure workers gain the technical knowledge and pressure-control competence required to operate safely and effectively in high-risk environments.

This expansion strengthens AWCC’s position as Australia’s leading provider of IWCF Well Control and Intervention training.

Continued Investment in Industry-Leading Safety Training

Throughout 2026, AWCC will continue delivering and improving our high-demand courses, including:

IWCF Levels 3 & 4 Well Control (weekly, Brisbane & Toowoomba).

Short courses such as Working at Heights, Confined Space, Gas Test Atmospheres, 4WD & more.

Turbo Program pathways for new entrants into Oil & Gas.

With increased course availability and enhanced practical training environments, workers and companies can expect even more flexibility, accessibility, and industry-aligned content.

Building the Future of Training Together

2026 represents a major milestone for AWCC. From new facilities and expanded programs to elevated capability in Well Control and Well Intervention, our goal remains the same:

To provide the safest, most practical, most industry-ready training in Australia.

We’re excited to bring you along for what promises to be our biggest and most impactful year yet.
