To achieve this, AWCC has assembled a group of highly respected intervention specialists to author a brand-new program. These subject matter experts bring decades of hands-on experience across slickline, coiled tubing, wireline, snubbing operations, pressure control, well integrity, diagnostics and live-well operations. Their combined knowledge ensures the content is not only current, but practical, realistic and immediately applicable in the field. This is training written by people who have not just studied intervention — they have lived it.
The new course will deliver a comprehensive and modern approach to pressure control, well behaviour, barrier systems, operational decision-making and risk management. It will explore contemporary intervention techniques, enhanced communication expectations, updated equipment standards and the behavioural and human-factors components now recognised as essential to safe intervention work. Rather than simply meeting a minimum requirement, the program aims to elevate the competence and confidence of every participant.
Importantly, AWCC will offer this course in both face-to-face and remote delivery formats, ensuring that operators and contractors across Australia can access high-quality intervention training regardless of location. Face-to-face delivery will take place through our Brisbane and Toowoomba training centres, providing convenient access for Queensland-based personnel, while remote delivery will allow companies operating in remote or fly-in, fly-out regions to benefit from the same award-winning instructors and industry expertise without compromising on learning outcomes.
This dual-delivery model reflects AWCC’s commitment to accessibility, flexibility and modern training practice — and ensures that regional projects, remote crews and interstate operations can benefit from the program without logistical barriers.
The decision to invest in such an extensive redevelopment demonstrates AWCC’s ongoing commitment to leadership across the industry. As the workforce prepares for a new cycle of drilling, completions and intervention activity, it is essential that training providers offer more than legacy content. AWCC continues to support the full workforce pipeline, from entry-level training through our 7-Day Turbo Program (Certificate II in Oil & Gas Drilling (Onshore) and Well Servicing), right through to advanced well control and now contemporary well intervention training. This progression ensures that new entrants, developing workers and technical specialists all have access to training that genuinely prepares them for field demands.
Our entrance into the well intervention space sends a clear message: AWCC is committed to lifting the standard of intervention training across Australia. We have built our reputation on delivering quality, not quantity. We are trusted because we deliver outcomes, not certificates. And as the demands on the workforce increase, AWCC intends to stand at the forefront of capability development.
The release of the new Well Intervention Course in 2026 is not simply an additional program — it is a statement of our intent to support industry growth, strengthen field performance and uphold the safety culture that defines the Australian energy and resources sector.
AWCC is proud to lead in well control. We are proud to step forward confidently into well intervention. And we are proud to prepare the workforce for the challenges and opportunities of the years ahead — face-to-face, remotely, and wherever industry needs us.
