The ProQual Level 2 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practice of Wellbore Casing and Cementing provides a structured foundation in the principles, processes, and applications of wellbore casing and cementing within oil and gas environments. The qualification is designed for students and learners seeking to develop industry-relevant knowledge of essential well construction activities and understand how casing and cementing contribute to well integrity, safety, and operational performance.
The course covers key areas including casing types and functions, casing design considerations, casing programs, casing running operations, casing stresses, cementing principles, cement slurry properties, cement placement, cementing equipment, liner systems, and cementation evaluation. It also introduces learners to factors such as burst, collapse, tensile strength, temperature variation, fluid placement, and cement additives, supporting a practical understanding of wellbore construction.
The qualification is accredited onto the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), providing a recognised UK qualification framework.
This course is suitable for those beginning a career in drilling, well engineering, oil and gas operations, or related energy-sector roles and seeking internationally relevant knowledge of wellbore casing and cementing practices.
The ProQual Level 2 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practice of Wellbore Casing and Cementing is an Ofqual-regulated qualification accredited on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). The qualification has a Total Qualification Time (TQT) of 30 hours, including 30 Guided Learning Hours (GLH).
Assessment is assignment-based and conducted on a Pass/Fail basis. Assessments are internally assessed and verified by centre staff, with external quality assurance provided by ProQual Verifiers to ensure compliance with recognised qualification and quality standards.
To achieve the qualification, learners must successfully complete two mandatory units.
