IADC's training, accreditation program expanding

摘要

AS IADC PREPARES to officially roll out two new high-profile programs as part of its accreditation services, the association is looking forward to development of new programs and to identify those needed to meet the changing needs of the industry. The new programs to be introduced by the end of the year include WellCAP Plus, an innovative approach to team learning and decision making that will provide an alternative to WellCAP's traditional supervisory level instruction. Also new will be a Ballast Control & Stability accreditation and certification program, which will extend lADC's role of accrediting training providers into providing individual certification for those who complete the program. Also on the horizon is a potential accreditation system for competency assurance programs, and a comprehensive worldwide user study to help IADC highlight the future approach and direction of its accreditation efforts.
