Oil and Gas drilling arena- has emerged as a part of an arena that generated revenues worth $3.3 trillion in 2019 and embraces some 3.8% of the global economy – the utilization of online assessment (eAssessment) is obviously enlightening the assessment process, as well as streamlining the operations of organizations and, thus, offering an added value to their stakeholders.

 In particular, one major eAssessment programme, introduced in December 2016 by International Well Control Forum (IWCF) – the only independent body focused on oil and gas well control planning and accreditation – has already assessed some 30,000 candidates online.

Focusing on enlightening ability via the industry while emphasizing the core ethics of quality, safety and integrity, IWCF has announced eAssessment in conjunction with eCom Scotland, a principal provider of online training and assessment and which, over the last 25 years, has been structuring an enviable global reputation for its solutions’ quality and reliability.

IWCF manages the assessment and certification, worldwide, of some 30,000 of candidates annually through its global network of training centres. The majority of these centres transitioned to using online assessments in the last couple of years – increasingly prompted by the restrictions imposed as a result of the Covid19 pandemic. Currently, in the last year, some 22,500 candidates have undergone the assessment and certification process through eAssessment.

The online assessments, which include both knowledge and practical elements, are available in 17 languages.

Wendy Edie eCom’s Managing Director stated that “IWCF wanted to make the training and assessment process more accessible, responsive and user-friendly for candidates, training providers, assessors as well as IWCF staff – hence the move to eAssessment.”

She further added stating “The solution – known as FORUM and delivered via eCom’s assessment management platform, eNetAssess – allows invigilators to monitor student progress, automatically mark online tests, record practical assessments, manage and verify certificates, as well as deal with question authoring and multiple translation versions. Not only does FORUM enable candidates to register, update their details, locate a centre and participate in assessments, it provides IWCF administrators, centres, assessors and invigilators with a single platform for reviewing candidate details – and enables external users to authenticate and check the validity of a certificate.”

Powered by eNetBadges, FORUM issues successful candidates with electronic certification (eCerts) – significantly reducing waiting times for candidates to get their qualifications. The eCerts provide candidates with instant awards which can be displayed on their social media profiles. Furthermore, eCom developed a mobile app to allow candidates to prove their qualifications to employers.
