Course Overview

What is this course

The ProQual Level 2 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practice of Wellbore Casing and Cementing is a regulated qualification designed to develop foundational knowledge of casing, tubing and cementing practices used in oil and gas well construction. The qualification is accredited onto the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), with the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) identified as the regulatory body. Its Ofqual qualification number is 610/0539/3.

The qualification focuses on two mandatory areas: Understanding Wellbore Casing and Tubing, and Understanding Wellbore Cementing. Learners develop knowledge of casing functions, casing types, casing selection, setting depths, casing loads and stresses, casing operations, handling equipment and casing strings.

The cementing component covers cementing principles, slurry functions and properties, flow measurements, cement mixing and pumping equipment, cement placement, primary and remedial cementing, cement additives, liner cementing and evaluation of cementation operations.

For UK and international learners, this Level 2 Award provides a structured introduction to the principles and practices that support wellbore construction and cement integrity in oil and gas environments, establishing terminology and technical understanding relevant to the sector.

Frequently Asked Questions Explained

Yes. The Level 2 standard makes it suitable for learners developing an initial understanding of wellbore casing and cementing without requiring advanced specialist knowledge.

It focuses specifically on the casing, tubing and cementing aspects of well construction rather than providing comprehensive training in all drilling operations.

Progression can include further learning in drilling operations, well construction, well integrity, oil and gas engineering or other specialised upstream petroleum subjects, depending on the learner’s existing qualifications and career objectives.

Casing and cementing are fundamental components of well construction. Understanding their functions, equipment, materials and operating principles helps learners develop a clearer technical understanding of how wells are constructed and how wellbore barriers are established and maintained.
