Grapevine/little bird told me that Fugro have reserved places on regular courses at the Underwater Centre for trainee ROV Pilot/Techs. I’ve applied to them for trainiee post and been rejected. Same for at least one of the other guys I did my UWC course with. Let’s put the possibility that both of us blissfully unaware that we are clearly muppets aside for now. It is possible that for Fugro to pay for those course places it isn’t cost effective for them to ALSO take on guys already trained on such a course.
It appears they’re only taking people on who they can put through the course themselves.
I could be gripping the wrong end of the stick, though. Can anyone confirm either way?
