Hi everyone,

For some background - I am from eastern Canada and have been working in an onshore role supporting offshore oil operations for about two years now. After talking to a lot of people in the industry - I have become very interested in ROV.

Locally, it seems many people go study here:

https://www.mi.mun.ca/programsandcourses/programs/remotelyoperatedvehiclesrovoperator/calendarentry/

The program includes an 8 week work term, simulators, technical sessions, as well as academic sessions. It also covers BST etc.

Based on the link above, would you consider this training adequate to enter into this field?

Thanks in advance,
T

Your previous background is the first question.

For example do you think if someone with no technical qualifications or experience did this course it would get them a job? Almost certainly not.

You first need to look at what technical qualifications and experience you have already before considering any rov specific training course.

Ensure you have a good level of electrical, electronic, hydraulic and fibre optic (preferably a good level of all but at very least a good electrical or good hydraulic bias).

I realise this course teaches you electronics and hydraulics, but what happens if you do this course and do not get a job in ROVs? Would this qualification count for getting a job onshore, would employers recognise it as a good course to have and offer you a job?

Another way - if you do nationally recognised and accredited qualifications in electrics, electronics, hydraulics etc. these would be recognised not only by the ROV industry but also by all other industries.

Hence if you are spending a lot of time & money on training, ensure that the training will count for not just the ROV industry. There are MANY very qualified and experienced people already trying to get into ROVs and they are struggling.

Cheers guys!!

Roveal Underwater Robotics steered clear of the Oil & Gas Industry altogether.
Starting out as a group of Veterans, Roveal kept things simple. We purchased our very first ROV from Deep Trekker, the DTG2. It's a small format "mini" ROV. It's perfect for numerous inland and coastal applications. We've been working with a multitude of organizations and people ranging from Wildlife Conservationists to Law Enforcement. There's a huge market for ROVs and it's not all deep ocean.
Through our amazing partnership with Deep Trekker, we not only perform ROV services throughout Florida, but we are also authorized retailers and instructors on their equipment.
If you'd like to know more about how we got started, just PM me. In the meantime, please visit www.rovealit.com to learn more. See my signature to find us on LinkedIn, Facebook, & Youtube.

Cheers!

At the moment the best advice is to WAIT, not a good time but better times are on the horizon. Gain more experience on the electronics, especially comms related and read up and if possible gain Hydraulics experience. Get your CV professionally vetted and send it out every couple of weeks or so, follow it up with phone calls until somebody gives you a job.

A friend and myself are starting up an ROV and drone inspection company. For the ROV inspection we will be working in the norwegian fish farms. Does anyone know what certification we will need to be a recognised inspection company.
Id imagine we need some sort of training as we can't just Rock up and start passing inspections with no qualification or whatever.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

I think the word is " IF " your employed ! If not your be joining the other few Thousand of guys all trying to get into the Rov industry .

May I remind you its not mandatory to do a course , If you all ready have experience in electronics or hydraulics your half way there .

Unless they can guarantee that you are employed after the courses I think its a very large amount of money to be paying out .

See what feed back you get from other member of this forum also ask on other Rov sites like face book .But $12500 USD ( £8500 GBP ) is a very large amount of money to pay out for nothing in return .

We have the same old debate on this forum for years Training or No Training at the end of the day its being in the right place at the right time .

However due to the low price of oil and the cut backs in the oil industry I think even experienced rov guys are finding work at the moment let alone Trainees .
So good luck

What passport do you hold why are you so interested in spending more than double on a course which can be obtained else where?

for less than half that price?


Also depending on the passport you hold will depend on certain factors relating to your career and future? which answers the questions in a more logical format.

It also would be a major factor for were to go and why you would be willing too spend double on the chance of being employed with fugro UAE.

Sorry but its your money and life but in my opinion you are wasting your time and money , We are not looking at a few hundred pounds here its over £8500 GBP .

Spend some time and look at linkedin and face book your see thousands of guys the same as you some are even offering them self for free .

A few months ago I saw this ad from a agency :- Hi - I have a former marine, avail now FOR FREE (UNPAID!) ROV PILOT WORK EXPERIENCE with all nec certifications, BOSIET, MIST, Offshore Med, as well as electric, electronic and hydraulic courses.

And he still could not find a job ! , Spend time and your see all the ads of people some have over 10 years experience and still cant find work .

But like I said this course is not mandatory if you have experience in electronics or hydraulics your half way there .

If you don't have a medical or survival course cert your need those .

But over the years we have had thousands of guys who have come on this forum asking the same as you , Just take your time and go back in the archives on ROV Rookie Corner and your see what I mean .

Maybe you should find out what Fugro will be offering you as a Trainee in UAE its not going to be much at all.

They don't offer skilled guys with years of experience much either for that matter.

Appreciate the advice. Looks like I will have to reconsider my options. 13k is a lot of money which can be put to good use elsewhere that gives me good ROI. Anyway, I've got a month to figure it out. It is probably wise to hold on to every cent especially when times are bad at present for the industry.

If you spend money on any ROV Training course, the piece of paper you get at the end and the training is mainly only applicable when applying for an ROV position.

If you spend the same money on nationally recognised qualifications on electrics, electronics, hydraulics and fibre optics, these too will count towards applying for an ROV job.

However - if you do not get a start in ROVs, how much value will other industries put on an ROV course (OK, it may include electronics, hydraulics etc. but will other employers recognise it). How much will they put on nationally recognised qualifications?

If you are going to spend a lot of money, please consider getting the best value for it. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Hi guys, just to clarify, Forum is closing the UKPS business.

UKPS or Forum haven't gone in to administration, or liquidation.

We are all very sad and wish you all the best for the future.
