5.) Admission Requirements for Trainees
Individuals who meet the requirements set out in section 5.1 may be awarded an IMCA recognized ROV Introductory Training certificate on successful completion of the IMCA-approved course.
IMCA recommends that individuals who do not meet these criteria should not embark on an independent path to gain entry to the offshore ROV industry (such as through this training) that would involve personal expense. Individuals without these entry level qualifications attending an ROV training course at a commercial training establishment would be very unlikely to meet the offshore ROV industry’s competence requirements.
Training establishments may accept any individual onto an ROV Introductory Training course, irrespective of background. However, if they do not meet the requirements set out in this section then they are not eligible for an IMCA recognized certificate. Course completion certificates for these individuals must not make any reference to IMCA. No further details are provided in relation to assessment and certification (section 9) for such individuals.
5.1) Academic Qualifications and Industrial Experience
Trainees should meet one or more of the following requirements:
1) A nationally-recognized technical or trade qualification (military service qualification and/or an appropriate level national vocational qualification is acceptable) completed in one or more of the following subjects:
a) Electrical;
b) Electronic;
c) Hydraulics;
d) Mechanics.
2) A nationally-recognized, higher (tertiary) academic qualification (not otherwise covered above) in a relevant technical subject; plus a minimum of one year of technically relevant industrial experience, which can be secured as a feature of the entry into the ROV industry, i.e. a university graduate may go directly to a suitable establishment to secure the minimum of one year of relevant industrial experience, which may be with the employer;
3) A minimum of three years’ technically relevant industrial experience (including any
accepted training period) in an appropriate discipline relating to the above subjects, which
should have been obtained within the previous four years;
4) In certain circumstances, candidates who do not meet the criteria above but have extensive industrial experience, or an appropriate technical qualification or industrial training course supported by evidence and references, may be acceptable.
5.2) Recommended Personal Attributes
The attributes and character traits desirable in potential ROV technicians and pilots, based on the nature of the work environment in the ROV industry, include the following. Individuals should be expected to objectively demonstrate they possess them in sufficient quantities.
- A suitability to, and understanding of, the offshore environment and lifestyle, especially with respect to being away from home and separated from family for lengthy periods
- Enthusiasm for the industry and its future
- Positive career aspirations
- Evidence of being able to work in a small team
- Good oral, written, numerical and communication skills in the required language (English is the predominant language for ROV technical documentation of manufacturers and
suppliers) - Self-motivation;
- A practical approach to problem solving
- Spatial awareness (may be demonstrated using an ROV simulator);
- Evidence of technical acumen
- Ability to remain calm under pressure
- Attention to detail
