ACCREDITATION

Since 1940, the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) has exclusively represented the worldwide oil and gas drilling industry.


DIT Accredited Training Providers

 

IADC makes every attempt to keep the information here up to date, but the status of an accredited program may change before this page can be updated.  Training users are encouraged to contact IADC for verification of a provider’s status. 

Full Accreditation may be granted to any program that, in the exclusive judgment of the Panel, meets the Criteria in a satisfactory manner as evidenced by information available about the program as confirmed by an initial site visit, or other documented evidence requested by the Panel.

Conditional Accreditation may be granted to programs making initial application that, in the exclusive judgment of the Panel, meet the Criteria, but for which a site visit has not yet been performed. The Panel may also grant Conditional Accreditation for a specific period in the case of a program which generally meets the Criteria, but which the Panel feels some improvements may be required to optimize instruction. The Panel may rely on the program’s history of operation and may request business or other references in awarding conditional accreditation.

NOTE:  For information on specific courses, schedules, and fees, please contact the training providers directly at the numbers listed below.
