We appreciate that choosing the right training centre for you is vital to your personal development and ultimately your future career. We provide industry leading training to major subsea contracting companies all over the world and welcome many service leavers and those currently serving onto our training courses. It is evident to us that many employers appreciate and actively source the skills and mind-set that forces personnel possess in the civilian work place. Those on our courses, who will come from an engineering background, are building upon existing skill sets which can be easily transferred and applied to the offshore industry. For this reason we see many of our course delegates finding successful offshore careers with companies who see and appreciate the benefits of employing ex-HM forces personnel. In addition to the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Induction course, MTCS has many safety, technical and supervisory courses to choose from for personnel once they have established a career in the industry. MTCS is also the recognised and accredited certifying body for Personnel Competence within the ROV Industry. Our dedicated team of instructors will help you in your quest for employment; offering one-to-one time to go over your CV with you and bring out the best you have to offer in it. Through working for global offshore corporations we have key leads and contacts within the industry and are able to advise on current employment opportunities. All of our successful candidates are registered into the MTCS Ltd competence management program, which is included in our course fee. This enables MTCS Ltd delegates to continue their personal and professional development when offshore, leading to further certification - a service which no other training centre can provide.

When did you last invest in your own development?

Offshore work never stands still. New technology, updated standards and changing client expectations mean the skills that got you started need to keep growing.

That is where CPD comes in. Continuing Professional Development is the learning you do throughout your career to keep your skills and knowledge current.

It helps you stand out to employers, prepare for your next role and show clients your competence is up to date.

MTCS is here to support that development. Whether you learn online through MTCS Online, attend our corporate training or renew your certification every three years, we help you keep your competence current.

Working for a big organisation can give you exposure to more equipment, different projects and different vessels.

Some organisations also run their own internal competence scheme, which means access to qualified Skills Assessors and Verifiers. That could work in your favour when it comes to your competence assessment.

You’ll still need to go through the same assessment and verification process as everyone else.

What is CPD, and why does it matter offshore?

Richard explains that CPD (Continuing Professional Development) is a formal record of the time you spend learning. As technology, procedures and safety legislation change, it shows you are keeping up.

That record can help you gain employment, earn promotions and keep the quality of your competence where it should be.

Are you a Skills Assessor? This one is for you.

It's important to keep clear and concise records and notes of any assessments you carry out. Good records are more than paperwork. They show that you are actively continuing to carry out high quality assessments following your last certification.

This information will be needed for your Skills Assessor renewal, so getting into the habit now will make the process much smoother when the time comes.

We will also be releasing new guidance soon on the additional information required for Skills Assessor renewal. Keep an eye on our page for updates.

Clear records are what make an assessment a quality assessment.

The essentials are: a detailed assessment plan, a clear feedback report on the candidate’s performance, and a written note of their answers to any knowledge questions.

His renewal tip? Start keeping a log of everyone you assess now, so it is ready to submit when you renew.

Skills Assessor Renewals are changing in 2027

From 1 January 2027, the deadline to submit evidence and the Renewal Criteria for Skills Assessor Renewals will change.

What this means for you: you'll need to be enrolled on your renewal before your current certificate expires, and your verification will need to be completed before it expires too.

The good news? There's no price difference, and certificates will now run consecutively, so your competence stays recognised with no gap.

Now is a good time to check your certificate expiry date and plan ahead.

If you’re a qualified Skills Assessor, now is a good time to start keeping a clear record of everyone you assess.

Changes to the Skills Assessor renewal process are due to come into force in 2027. Maintaining a simple assessment log now will help you keep evidence of your ongoing activity.

Where the person you’ve assessed is on MTCS Online, MTCS will also be able to see the assessment evidence and feedback held on the platform.

1. Time:

More evidence is not the same as better evidence. Find out more at mtcsuk.com/support-centre/

Why we've changed the Skills Assessor renewal process.

Quality assessment offshore is essential, as an EAL-accredited organisation, we're held to national standards for how we manage our assessors, and we've strengthened our renewal process to meet them.

It all comes down to one goal: better assessment, and safer, more competent teams offshore.
