    Greetings Community!

    First time on the forum, have not yet figured out the rules, so do not scold me if you have not written there. 😉

    I am 41 years old. I have a higher technical education, received in 1994 (Department of AMS, electronics engineer). Before the day of today’s engaged in programming, computer technology, metrology (more – its organization).
    I want to ask the professionals (at the operators, and from the agents): after the course ROV course can I expect to get well-paid job? What and where better to take courses? What courses are more valued when applying for a job?
    P.S. I forgot to mention that I have a great maritime experience. However, on military ships

    Welcome Wenger to the forum I think if I was you I would read ROV Rookie Corner as most of the information you will find there .

    But in short now is not a good time to start thinking about rov work because there is hundreds if not thousands of experienced guys sitting on the beach and I mean guys who have 10 – 15 years in the game .

    So if your thinking of paying out for a rov course your find it a waste of time I am sure your be told the same thing over and over again .
    So if I was you I would stick with your current job maybe things might get better in a few years time but at the moment its very slow for every job your see on this forum there must be 150 plus people chasing it . As for rates there as low as 400 USD a day for a P/T with 5 years experience which if you work out is 11 GBP per hour , Tescos pay 8.50 GBP and time and a half for working past 10.30 pm and your home every night .

    So best of luck !

    Thank you!

    And all those people about whom you wrote, are ready to work on ships at sea for 2-4 months for the money that you said?
    And why so high price ROV courses in the presence of so many professionals?

    A very good question. Maybe a few ROV schools might like to answer that one!

    Schools are the answers to these questions are not waiting. Inquiring professionals.

    Well, then it and the next question: what are the professional levels ROV-operators? And: what companies use ROV? Well, at least 20 positions?
