ROV High-voltage Courses in Aberdeen

The company Maritime Training & Competence Solutions (MTCS) says that thoroughly assessed aptitude in high voltage used on ROVs is essential among trainees, and even experienced personnel in the subsea field. In commercial ROVs the voltage can be in the area of 48 volts and can go up to 1,000 so correct use when carrying out repairs and maintenance is imperative. Together with KB Associates Group of Companies (KBA), MTCS will be jointly delivering open courses in hig-voltage safety at KBA’s facility in Altens, Aberdeen, UK.

The course on ROV high voltage builds skills in troubleshooting, repair and maintenance, which will prepare a pilot technician to operate the ROV in a safe and skilful manner.

With training and competence playing a key role in today’s industry, the joint partnership has been a leading initiative that will establish new benchmarks within the ROV industries.

KBA provide an integrated professional specialist solution for consultancy and training that fosters safety excellence and quality in the Offshore Oil & Gas industry and onshore terminals construction industries.

Darren Brunton (CFIOSH), the managing director of KBA, brings a wide range of safety management expertise, hands-on experience of offshore operations, compliance and training deliverables in all the courses planned by both companies.

The Altens facility houses dedicated equipment for assessing personnel in the critical electrical isolation procedures required, prior to any maintenance that will take place on ROV systems. This course is suitable for those who have completed the two-day course and MTCS & KBA can also assess delegates that have taken the distance learning option.

MTCS is a fully accredited assessment and training centre, whose head office is based in the Lake District and currently manage the largest independent assessment and certification programme for people involved in subsea operations such as ROV, diving and hydrographic survey. Providing a full IMCA-aligned Competence Scheme Management service, MTCS ensures that personnel are demonstrating competence in the offshore workplace.

Beside regular open schedules, companies also have the option of in-house bespoke programmes during which they can focus on their own in-house equipment and procedures.
