This document seeks to set out the basic entry-level requirements for the ROV industry for personnel who have no prior relevant offshore experience and who have not yet completed an introductory course for working in the ROV industry.

In this issue, the guidance on entry-level criteria for those undergoing initial ROV training courses is clarified and repeated in a new checklist format, to make the requirements clear and ensure that those offering or considering undergoing training courses are aware of the skill requirements of potential employers and thus their future employment prospects. All training providers are asked to ensure that teaching and marketing staff and potential students are made aware of these requirements.

IMCA does not approve any ROV-related training courses - click here for further details on IMCA's role in this area.
