Training at our base in the UK is provided free of charge. We also undertake training at the clients site and have done so around the world and in some difficult places. Rcently we have undertaken traing in Indonesia, Bangladesh, the Middle East, Europe and the UK. We are also very experienced in arranging transportation and export documentation.
We strongly believe that the longetivity of our vessels and products is further extended by sound management and maintenance by the owners.
We are also very keen to ensure safe and legal operations. This is the key to removing maverick and cowboy operators from the industry.
When purchasing a vessel we provide, as inclusive to the sale, a 2 to 3 day course for 2 people to include
- Vessel familiarisation.
- Systems training (to include Engine diagnostics)
- Equipment familiarisation.
- Sea trials PLUS handling training.
- Guidance on issues such as insurance, safety and environmental policies, office procedures etc.
- You will also be welcome to join in our own operations for a few days to gain an insight into sales, passenger control etc .
From our commercial clients we will expect credible evidence of qualifications AND experience/aptitude to run the vessel in a safe and efficient manner. This would normally take the form of an RYA Advanced Powerboat Certificate as a minimum.
We will discuss with and assist those with minimum knowledge providing that the aptitude and commitment to training with an approved school is in place.
It is also well accepted that there are many well experienced seamen taking a change in course from say rig or fishing operations and that they "simply" require re training and certification. For those we can recommend accredited training centres.
