AWCC’s 2025 IWCF Well Control Wrap-Up

December 3, 2025

As we close out 2025, AWCC is proud to reflect on a standout year of IWCF Well Control training delivered weekly across Brisbane and Toowoomba. With consistent Level 3 and Level 4 programs running all year, we’ve supported hundreds of drilling, completions, and well servicing personnel in staying compliant, confident, and industry-ready.

Well Control is the backbone of safe operations in the Oil & Gas sector and throughout 2025, demand for reliable, high-standard training continued to grow. We’re grateful to every student and company who trained with us this year and helped strengthen safety across the industry.

Weekly Delivery That Supports Industry Needs

AWCC remains the only provider in Australasia offering weekly IWCF Level 3 & 4 Well Control in both Brisbane and Toowoomba.
This availability allowed:

Workers to secure training without long wait times
FIFO crews to align training with rosters
Companies to maintain compliance during busy operational periods
Teams to prepare for new drilling campaigns and role advancement

Consistency has been key to ensuring the industry stays mobilised, safe, and ready.

Mid-Year Upgrade: New Simulators Installed in June

One of our biggest milestones in 2025 was the introduction of brand-new IWCF simulators around June.

These upgraded systems have significantly enhanced:

Scenario realism
Pressure and circulation modelling
Trainee engagement
Operational accuracy
Learning outcomes and exam readiness

Paired with AWCC’s dedicated pre-assessment simulator practice time, the new technology has helped students build stronger situational awareness and decision-making under pressure.

The result?
More confident candidates — and better-prepared personnel returning to the field.

Growing Demand for Skilled Well Control Personnel

Throughout 2025, the need for qualified Level 3 & 4 staff remained strong across drilling and well servicing operations. We saw increased enrolments from:

Crews mobilising for major drilling and workover programs
Supervisors upgrading into higher-responsibility positions
Workers renewing competency after roster breaks
Companies strengthening operational safety standards

This demand is expected to continue into 2026, and many organisations have already secured early-year bookings.

Looking Ahead to 2026

AWCC will continue expanding our capability and support for industry needs in the new year, including:

Enhanced IWCF Well Intervention delivery
Continued weekly Level 3 and 4 Well Control in both centres
Ongoing investment in practical training resources
Stronger progression pathways for emerging supervisors and drillers

Our commitment remains the same: deliver the most accessible, practical, and industry-trusted well control training in the region.

Thank You for a Safe & Successful 2025

To every drilling contractor, well servicing company, supervisor, driller, derrickman, and aspiring industry professional — thank you for choosing AWCC this year.

Your dedication to developing strong well control competency is what keeps our industry safe, capable, and forward moving. We’re proud to support your teams and look forward to partnering with you throughout 2026.
