Hi kkpaul you have requested feed back regarding doing a Rov course even before the current recession it was very hard to find employment as a Rov Trainee this is all due to the fact that all the training schools and academy's flooded the market .
First of all doing a rov course is not mandatory requirement and unless the training establishment can guarantee you employment your just be joining the other few thousands all waiting and it will be a long wait .
The current price of oil is WTI $52.74 + Brent Crude Oil $58.73 until the price is $70 - $75 USD very little is going to be happening not just for Rov but all service company's . If we are lucky it might pick up next March / April in 2016 .
At the end of the day its your life and money the senior members of this forum can only offer advice .But if I was you I would stick with your current job . Just take your time and go through the archives on this site or check up the Rov sites on Face book and linkedin .
If you have a good engineering back ground , Medical and Survival cert your half way there all you need then is to be in the right place at the right time , Think of it as playing the lottery thousands play and a few win .
