Who grades the candidate at Sub Eng level with almost zero experience? Cumbria sounds like MTCS and if this is the case then they must have either changed their IMCA competency scheme or be breaking the rules unless they mean they’ll grade you Acting Sub Eng? π
When I did this scheme I had to accrue 100 days offshore as a pilot tech II plus one year in the industry and 200 days offshore as a pilot tech I plus 30 months in the industry before being eligible for Sub Eng grade, not to mention all those competencies that had to be fulfilled too. How can a cable ROV pilot be awarded such status by attending a three day course and having a few hours piloting in his back pocket?
Out of interest what does this company pay IMCA certified supervisors?
Finally, what copmpany is it so I know who to avoid, sounds like they’re really asking for trouble. π
Adios π

Wouldnt like to be the person weilding the stamp on that one………….. I’m sure it will read well in an incident report.

October 27, 2006 at 5:42 am #8537luckyjim37ParticipantAre they providing PPE or is that only required when the ships bar closes?
