Remember that NO training school is IMCA Certified – there is no such thing, they do not CERTIFY anyone. Any place that tells you they do are lying.
IMCA produce guidelines, schools can teach BASED on these guidelines, but that does not make them IMCA certified. Just be aware theer are many schools out there and they are there to make a profit.
Also, consider if paying out thousands of $$s will get you a job. You MUST have the appropriate technical qualifications and experience or your chances of getting a job in ROVs is very very slim even if you have attended a training school.
The sad fact is, having had quite a few U.S. personnel over the last 3 years, that the simple fact is the majority of U.S. trainees I’ve had in that time have not met the required standard, with minimal technical ability.
Quite frankly, the U.S. do not seem to have any concept of apprenticeship, or the idea that it is a total waste of time sending out non technical guys to an ROV worksite. Half the time they can’t even make coffee.
