Level 2 Diploma in Drilling Operations

MP Awards is consulting on a proposed new structure for the Level 2 Diploma in Drilling Operations.

The qualification currently makes use of a Directives document that provides additional assessment points depending on the pathway and drillin equipment upon which the candidate is being assessed. This influences the selection of endorsements for the qualification.

Land Drilling

In consultation with the British Drilling Association and an expert Land Drilling working group, MP Awards has taken the decision to introduce a new set of pathways that are specific to the environment and the drilling equipment for Land Drilling. These pathways contain units with ALL specific assessment criteria contained within. This means that there will be a specific pathway for candidates to undertake to gain an endorsement on their certificate. This will also apply where candidates wish to undertake additional endorsements.

Extractives Drilling

MP Awards would like to gather information to ascertain whether these specific pathways are required for Extractives Drilling, or if the current units are sufficient. If you are a Driller within an Extractives environment, or you are an Extractives company with a Drilling function, we would like to hear your views on this.

Directional Drilling

We are unaware of any registrations on the Directional Drilling pathway of the MPQC Level 2 Diploma in Drilling Operations. When the reviewed qualification is made available, we will be withdrawing this pathway unless we receive information from Industry that indicates it should be retained. Please get in touch with us if you believe this pathway should be maintained.

All communication regarding this consultation should be directed to the Head of Qualifications and Compliance by email: [email protected]

The consultation will be open until 10th January 2025.
