Built from 27 years on the rigs
RigVoyage was started by a senior drilling supervisor with 27 years in the industry, from leasehand to company man, on land rigs, jack-ups and platforms. The training here is the training that should have been there on the way up.

Written from the rig floor
Everything is checked by someone who has done the job, not copied from a manual.
Free where it counts
The simulators, rig training and the first session of every course cost nothing. Paid levels are a one-off, no subscription.
Your details stay yours
Employers see your first name and initial only. Your phone and email are released when you accept an introduction, never before.
Honest about what it is
The well control courses are exam preparation. They are not an accredited course, and they don't replace your certificate.
Start where you are
Whether it's your first hitch or your next ticket, there's a place to start today.
