This course is organised by Chess Subsea Engineering Europe and accredited by International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC).
Objectives

To provide to the student the knowledge and skills required for Assistant Driller position and perform the assigned tasks safely and efficiently.
Job Description For An Assistant Driller

Large oil companies install oil rigs in order to extract natural gas and oil from deepwater deposits. Assistant drillers have the work responsibility of directing a work crew of “roughnecks” on offshore oil rigs. Roughnecks perform most of the manual labour in maintaining drilling equipment and extracting hydrocarbons. According to Oil Rig Job International, assistant drillers earn an average salary of $52,000 to $63,000 Per Annum.
Purpose

Accelerated Assistant Driller Training Programme (AADTP) Level 1 to Level 3 is structured for graduates, drilling engineers, well completion engineers, petroleum engineers, well engineers & drilling technicians.
Entry Qualification

OND, HND Bsc from a reputable school. Experience candidates with O’level will be considered.
