We are excited to anounce that our Sponsors 3t Training Services have expanded their course offering and facilities in the Teesside / Durham area.
Have a look at the new course opportunities below that 3t Training are currently offering Military Leavers...
Helideck
Launch @ Durham
3t recently had OPITO approval on a new helideck in their Durham centre which is in
partnership with Vital Fire Solutions. This means they can now offer a number of
new fire courses from Durham including, essential courses such Helideck Emergency Response Team Member (HERTM) and Helideck Response Team Leader (HERTL) to those in the Tees Vally and Durham area.
Offshore emergency response is a mandatory requirement for offshore installations, with these structures requiring a minimum number of crew members to be trained in secondary roles as emergency firefighters to deal with potential emergencies onsite.
The centre is hoping to attract thousands of offshore workers from across the UK and the rest of the world to train in offshore emergency response and an added bonus for those military service leavers aiming for a career in the energy sector. Especially useful for members of the Royal Navy who often move into a career in firefighting.
Rob Cherrie, Director, CDDFRS said: “I really cannot stress enough how vital this new equipment and the enhanced training it offers will be to people working in the offshore sector – when you’re offshore, you can’t just dial 999 and expect immediate assistance.
“Offshore firefighters are more likely than others to face scenarios such as helicopter fires or pressurised oil fires, so individuals need to be well-trained and self-sufficient when dealing with these scenarios.
“Utilising our wealth of experience in firefighting training, teamed with our state-of-the-art technology here at our training centre, we are able to give those offshore workers with firefighting responsibilities the skills they need to cope with the worst-case scenarios.”
Emma Howorth, General Manager for England at 3t Training Services, said: “We are delighted to receive our latest OPITO approval and would like to thank everyone for all their hard work in making this happen.
“This centre can now offer courses such as Helideck Emergency Response Team Member (HERTM) and Helideck Response Team Leader (HERTL), which are critically important to offshore safety."
