Training and Advice

This page contains links to a series of articles which are aimed at explaining how to become an offshore medic and then developing your skill set. There will be articles covering the essential courses (HSE Medic, Survival) and the optional ones that you may undertake as you progress through your career (Manual Handling Trainer, COSHH assessor etc). Obviously, none of the articles will guarantee you a job - but they will hopefully help you along the way.

This page will be a live document as we are constantly producing new material for it. If you would like to contribute an article, or can think of any topics oyu would like to see covered, please use the Contact Page to let us know. Thanks!
