Chapter 1: General information
1.1 Introduction
Traditionally, companies have organised their own staff training, both in-house and through the use of external training consultants. The need for and scope of training vary from company to company and training has often been uncoordinated and unsystematic. Stricter requirements for safety and precision within all areas of the industry have created a great need for a common, basic training.
1.2 Entrance requirements
To qualify for the Basic Course I Well Technology, the applicant will normally have successfully completed the foundation course in mechanical engineering or equivalent.
1.3 Duration
The Basic Course I Well Technology is normally 3 week course.
1.4 Contents
The Basic Course I Well Technology consists of specialized subjects.
- Modules
The curriculum is divided into modules in order to meet the need of various groups to combine smaller units of their education into a specified competence.
1.5 Competence
- Basis for further education
As a general rule, successful completion of Basic Course I will lead to enrolment in Basic Course II. Theoretical competence to work on the rig as roughneck.
- Documentation of competence
A certificate is awarded for completion of the Basic Course I.
1.6 Drilling and Well Control simulator
A simulator will be used to raise the students understanding of drilling operations.

Chapter 3: Assessment
3.1 Why assessment?
The purpose of assessment is to secure a national standard of education whereby good quality, equivalent courses of study are made available to all. Assessment entails that results achieved through education are assessed with regard to the objectives stipulated in the curriculum.
Assessment serves different purposes, e.g. to:
- in their work towards a learning objective, inform the student, guardians, teacher and educational institution how far the student has come in attaining a specific competence
- guide, motivate and develop the student
- motivate the teacher to continuously assess his or her teaching methods
- inform society, the labour market and institutions of higher education which competence the student has attained
3.2 What is to be assessed?
- The student's overall competence as described in the course objectives, is to be assessed.
- The assessment of students will indicate to what extent they have achieved the objectives stipulated in the curricula
3.3 How is assessment to be performed?
A distinction is made between two main types of assessment:
- Continuous assessment.
- Final assessment
Continuous assessment aims at informing and motivating both students and teachers during their work towards achieving course objectives. Such assessment may be of a formal or informal nature. A useful tool of continuous assessment can be work-related records such as log books or journals kept by the students during the course.
Formal continuous assessment is given in the form of end-of-term grades.
Final assessment is given in the form of grades awarded on completion of the course and in the form of examination grades when required.
