    G’day all, 😀
    I’m looking at getting into ROV’s and i’m looking for info as to which course to do!
    I’ve looked up one in OZ which lasts for 3 weeks, one in the Philippines which lasts for 5 weeks and i’ve just read about the Oceaneering course which lasts for 9 weeks!
    Obviously the longer the course the more info one would get out of the course, and i take it all these courses are intro’s to the business?
    I already have a technical background, 9 yrs in the RAF and 4 yrs in the RNZAF, i’m currently working for an Ozzy company on helicopter hydraulics, mainly the servo’s.
    Any info would be greatfully recieved 😛

    Thanks.

    Its just under £12k for the 7 week premium course. You can probably claim a good £3-4k back tax wise. Another £2k for inhouse accomidation and upto a grand on beer money as there is nothing to do in Fort William ‘cept drink!

    I cant say if the course in the Philippines is any good. Looking at their site it looks pretty good + free BOSIET &…

    NEW INCREDIBLE SUBNET DOES IT AGAIN to beat all other training Establishments.

    Now EVERY delegate will build/test underwater and KEEP his own small ROV as part of the 3 in 1 course.

    WHY? SO Employers can be assured each delegate completely understands the programming and function of all ROV components etc.

    😆

    Its also alot closer to home for you.
