Certificates we do not issue

The centre is not OPITO-approved. So we do not issue BOSIET, FOET, HUET with CA-EBS, MIST, or the OPITO-standard Basic H2S and Banksman & Slinger certificates: only centres approved by OPITO issue them. We send our own offshore crews to such centres.

Our certificate is the company’s own: the course title and hours, the trainee’s name and personal ID number, the exam result and the expiry date. Each one can be checked by its number below. If a client has its own requirements, we agree the programme with it before the course.

Schedule for the next 8 weeks

Booking closes at 17:00 on the working day before the course. Classes start at 09:00.

Questions

Can we change the date?

Free of charge up to 2 working days before the course; we move you to another date. Later changes and no-shows are not refunded, but you may send someone else instead.

What should a trainee bring?

An ID card and safety boots. For working at height, a doctor’s note as well.

Can we pay later?

Companies may pay by invoice within 5 working days; the seats are held until then. Private trainees pay by card.

Do other companies accept the certificate?

That depends on the client: some operators accept only OPITO or centres they approved. Ask your employer’s requirement before the course and we will show them the programme.
