Hi all,
Firstly, sorry for the age old repetitive question regarding courses to help get into the industry....
Currently I have an electronics degree and work as a Seismic Technician which has given me experience in Subsea electronics, mechanical maintenance and some experience in hydraulics with our heave compensated crane. I've been applying to a large portion of the big ROV players with no joy. As I only get 5 weeks vacation a year I was thinking the two week MTCS ROV course (don't have the holidays or $$$ for the one at FW), however, reading the forum, I'd be lying if I haven't been somewhat put off! Would anyone recommend it? I applied recently to a trainee position with Subsea 7 however they did stipulate that you should have completed a 'IMCA' course.![Confused]()
The Sparrows Hydraulics foundation course was the course I was looking at. Has anyone found this course beneficial to getting in the industry? I guess the plus of this course is that this qualification is at least transferable should the ROV career not take off!
Cheers![Smile]()
