Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Operation

AIM
This industry endorsed, three week course prepares men and women for employment in the Oil and Gas Sector and is more commonly known as Certificate IV Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) – course number 7163. The course was designed and run at the request of an industry advisory group and is therefore fully supported by employers.

It is accredited with the Australian Quality Training Framework, making it a nationally recognised course and is accepted worldwide. Entry level requirements fully comply with the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA - R002 - "Guidance Document & Competence: Remote System & ROV Division") for personnel who wish to find employment in the ROV industry.

TARGET AUDIENCE
Candidates spend time flying an ROV and performing the duties of Navigator/Co-Pilot and Deck Observer. They also perform hands-on maintenance tasks with associated systems and equipment.

After extensive consultation with industry, Challenger Institute of Technology will recommence ROV pilot/technician training in January 2012. Interested applicants should read the Frequently Asked Questions on ROV Operations to ensure that they meet the minimum entrance criteria, and if they do, follow the instructions for lodging an application.
