Fugro to use Fort William for all training

[J Deans]

I hear from a passing seagull that Fugro are to start using Fort William for all of its ROV training, for both Aberdeen as well as other of their companies in Brazil, Middle East etc.

After years of telling people at interviews the course isn’t worth it – suddenly now it is!

So when will Fort William be getting a workclass, tooling, hydraulics, fiber optics etc. From speaking to people who have done this vastly priced course, none of that is covered by them.

What happened to doing their own training?

They ran out of money 😀

Cant be that, Fort William costs a lot of money. Got to be costing them £3-5k a head, even with discounts. Even if it was as low as £2k, thats still a LOT more expensive than doing it yourself.

Due to Fort Williams financial problems over the years Fugro’s taste in buying companies for breakfast I would not be at all surprised if Fugro have bought in to Fort William !
Good rumour 😀 who said that 😮

Well Oceaneering was going to buy them out before they set up the training school ,but realized it was not agood idea and spent the money on the traing school.

Could you say that again please 😕

course still not worth it but there is the problem of proving competency and having a certificate saying you have attended a course of some sort seems to be the way to satisfy some clients.
