    Hi All
    been in the game some yeas now, and after hearing of my exploits my son fancies giving it a go. He is 19, and was until recently an apprentice plumber. Hes no mug, good with his hands and a quick learner.
    I understand he is young and needs expereience, so with in mind contacted one of the firms running rov courses to try and get him on a course in the not too distant future
    Ove rthe past few years I have had several trainees who have come through these courses, quite a few of them have had zero hands on experienc eof any kind, even to the point of not knowing how to use basic hand tools, ie spanners and power drill etc, (im not joking here!). Imagine my surprise when the training firm, told me that my son did not have the relevant experience ot even ge ton the course, according to IMCA standards etc. He could knock spots off a lot of the trainees ive had recently, not just because im biased either!
    I dont normally use this site, but was sotaken aback by all the above decided to seek advice or help if available on here??
    get back to me anyone

    There is a class offered at Texas State Technical College in Waco TX. It is a Subsea Robtics Center.

    http://www.waco.tstc.edu/ct/subsea_robotics.php

    I believe it is a 3 month course. They attend monday thru Friday. My husband attended the fall of 2006 and got a job a month out of the course.

    I have interview personnel who have completed out the course at WACO, $10,000 is a lot of money and the course does not equip you with very much of value. Look elsewhere. If in the UK, look at Globals training courses held in Portland

    Wow US 10 G’s and three months plus digs and grub.

    Safe the dosh and go knocking on doors in S.E.A.

    Maybe the US companies would hire but doubt the course has recognition else where….best to let one of the companies foot the bill

    He will not learn anything working on that company, try to get him a course in S.E.A. and then go get his first job anywhere else, where there’s chance to really learn something but eating pizza and talk about how & why Rome looses always against Manchester!!!!!!
    Good luck!
