The aim of the FOET is to provide the delegates with the opportunity to practise and demonstrate emergency response skills which are not possible to practise during drills, exercises and emergency training offshore.

The objectives of the FOET are that delegates will be able to:

(a) Demonstrate, in a simulated environment, that they can use the safety equipment and follow procedures in preparing for and during helicopter emergencies – with particular focus on escaping from a helicopter following ditching.

(b) Demonstrate that they can use basic firefighting equipment effectively, and use self-rescue techniques in low visibility and completely obscured visibility situations e.g. smoke filled areas.

(c) Demonstrate that they can perform basic first aid.

Approximately 9 hours of training completed over one (1) training day session.

Classes run from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Delegates absent from any component of the program will not be issued a certification until they have completed all requirements.
