Hello forum , I thought I would just wait read and learn from the comments on here before I made my first post. I have been very lucky to apply and be successful in the roll of tech 2 trainee at Canyon Helix , any help and advice from you would be much appreciated as will be my first offshore position

[David Sherry]

well done mate :), and welcome to the forum. So did you make it to the interview stage? or have you been lucky enough to be offered the position?

[Carl Stones]

Hi Davie , I have been through the interview stage at the beginning of the month and received confirmation by email this afternoon that I have been offered a position , I know I’m extremely lucky going on what I have read on this forum as it is so difficult to get to the interview stage never mind a job offer, heads still spinning 😀

This is Rookie corner! You should be able to ask anything about the industry here no matter how trivial it may seem. If anyone takes the piss, I’ll be on their case 🙂

The whole idea of this site is to help others find the information they need and give people a place to interact. Ask and ye shall receive!

I guess it depends which company you are working for and what they interpret as ‘training’. You should get direct hands on experience on the systems they expect you to work on. Read up on the manuals, preventative maintenance, deck checks, fault finding etc. Flying will not happen in any real form until you get offshore.
