Having no experience in the Oil drilling industry is not necessarily an obstacle to getting work in an entry-level capacity. It is perfectly possible to get hired on an offshore rig without having worked on one before (most of us were in that boat at one time). There are actually many entry level offshore jobs available. It all depends on what you want to do, and having the the correct contacts to get your resume in front of. The range of entry level employment opportunities on offshore oil rigs include: Floormen or Roughnecks and Roustabouts, Crane Operators, Cleaners/Painters, Storekeepers, Rig Mechanic, Rig Electricians, Rig Welders, Rig Medics, Cooks and Assistant Cooks.

However, most people looking to get into the industry are looking to get hired on as a Roustabout or Roughneck, otherwise known as Floormen. While it is perfectly possible to get hired with no training or experience whatsoever, your odds of getting a Floorman job are going to increase greatly if you have even a modicum of industry training. Fortunately, there are several programs available to help those without any experience gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals of the job. Without a doubt, this can greatly assist getting hired; placement rates of these 1 to 8 week programs are about 97%. Following are a few of the better programs.

Maritime Drilling Schools - Maritime Drilling Schools has a world-wide reputation in putting out graduates from their 3 week Floorman course that can start work as a Roughneck in an Offshore or Onshore environment. Training consists of drilling programs, hands-on rig training, and industry safety programs. Life skills and job readiness will also be included during the program. The Certificates issued upon graduation, required in Canada, will enable you to start work anywhere in the world, right away. They also offer advanced training that will enable you to move up to Assistant Driller and Driller.

Enform - Enform is another renowned Petroleum Industry training company. They have been in business for 50 years, and work closely with the Petroleum Industry, and assist their graduates in finding jobs. Their 1 week Floorhand \ Roughneck training program is designed to prepare individuals with little-to-no experience to work safely on an oil or gas well drilling rig. The student will gain a foundation of knowledge and skills through classroom lectures, skills training and drilling rig practice sessions, and will be prepared on completion to become an effective member of a drilling crew.

PetroSkills - PetroSkills is geared more for the Engineering side of things, and is the considered the industry standard for technical training in the Petroleum Industry. It is the product of a consortium between the world’s largest oil companies, and serves the industry by training a wide range of technicians and engineers in the latest oil field and offshore technology.

Getting a foot in the door of the Offshore Oil industry by taking a few basic courses to learn the fundamentals is an investment that will pay off immediately in the form of higher wages as well as a greatly increased understanding of occupational safety. You’ll hit the job running, and your team mates will quickly see and appreciate that you will know what you are doing, and won’t be a risk to yourself or others. Once you have those fundamental skills, save time on the job hunt by taking advantage of the industry insider contacts provided by the better guides that are available for the Offshore Oil industry.

Within a decade, technical diving has moved from being the preserve of extremists to becoming a main stream, yet specialized, field. The rationale behind technical diving has been reached only after passing through a series of challenges and scrutiny in the past. In the late 1980s the International Association of Nitrox Technical Divers became the first specialized technical training centre, marking a revolution in diving.

For the recreational Scuba diver, the diving depth limit is 40m and the diver should surface directly in up an unrestricted course. However, technical divers enjoy unlimited diving depth and the diver may need to resurface along a more restricted route such as in technical cave diving.

Wreck diving also challenges the diver’s ability to cope with unstable conditions and the maze-like corridors in a wreck. After a deep dive, the diver’s body has absorbed a large amount of inert gas (mainly nitrogen). There is a life-threatening danger in surfacing without following a proper decompression process during the ascent.

Technical diving is a relatively risky activity; therefore, the training course follows stricter rules when admitting students. The instructor has the right to refuse non-suitable candidates onto courses such as technical cave diving and re-breather diving. Generally, students participating in basic technical diving courses should have at least two to three years of diving experience, perhaps even as certified recreational diving instructors.

The main difference between technical divers and recreational divers is not their experience or courage, but their mind set. Recreational divers are happy to swim over coral and fish, while technical divers are eager to test their limits. At a depth of 300 feet, the diver’s personality, clear mind and technique are under massive stress. Even a minor mistake can lead to uncontrolled results in this environment. Therefore, psychological fitness is even more important than physical fitness for a technical diver.

How should you choose a technical diving training agent? There are about five international training centres in Hong Kong, including the founding agent IANTD and PADI. Several points should be considered when selecting a training centre: equipment availability and standard, insistence on reasonable and correct training procedures, the experience of the technical diving instructors, and the opinions of ex-students. Though cost could be another point to consider, the difference of a hundred or a thousand dollars is meaningless compared with the value of your life.

The course structure of a technical diving course is similar to a recreational one in that everyone starts from a basic level, even if you are a qualified instructor or experienced diver. The technical deep dive course comprises three different levels under the IANTD and PADI systems.

The basic course is named Advanced Nitrox Diver (IANTD) or Apprentice Tech Deep Diver (PADI). It teaches the student the benefits, hazards and proper procedures to dive to a 45m depth using high content oxygen for rapid decompression. This is deeper than the recreational diver’s limit. It is important to strictly follow the time and safety stops procedures for surfacing, otherwise decompression sickness (the Bends) could result. If a diver spends 30mins at a depth of 45m, they will need an extra 40minutes for decompression.

After finishing the basic course, the student can move on to the Technical Nitrox Diver (IANTD) or Tec-Deep Diver (PADI). In this course, the student dives as deep as 55 meters with two oxygen-rich tanks (one is pure oxygen) for decompression. The 30-minute deep dive practice at 55m will necessitate another 50 mins for decompression. Apart from the deep dive practice, the student thoroughly studies the high pressure impact on the diver and psychological changes and works on improving posture and buoyancy control technique.

The final course is Trimix Diver. The diver uses a combination of low oxygen, low nitrogen and high helium gas mixtures for an 80m dive. This gas mix is essential for such a deep dive as ordinary pressurized air places negative impacts on the diver’s body at depths of more than 55m. The 21% in air after 55m depth will cause the diver to conrulse and even lose consciousness - this is oxygen toxcity. Inappropriate usage of the trimix gases, however, will also cause problems; therefore, specialized training is a must.

All the technical diving courses include lectures, pool work and deep water practice. The ratio of instructor to student is much lower than in recreational diving courses in which one instructor handles 3 to 4 students and the ratio is even stricter for certain courses, to account for the more complicated nature of the course.

Technical Diving is still a risky activity, the technique and experience learnt from technical diving can feed back into recreational diving to improve the safety standard for the whole diving industry.

An organization planning to conduct Lean Six Sigma training should also focus on providing the right channels of communication in order to ensure the smooth flow of information between the trainers, trainees and other entities associated with the project. Explained below are some of the other factors that need to be considered for ensuring the successful completion of Lean Six Sigma training.

Management Involvement

Employees generally try to resist change. It is highly unlikely that they will lend their full cooperation and support while the Lean 6 Sigma training is being conducted. This problem is compounded because training is often conducted by trainers hired from outside. Such trainers often fail to get the attention and respect of the employees, something that makes it quite difficult for them to present their views to the audience in an effective manner.

The only way of resolving this issue is to get the involvement of departmental heads and top management who command enough respect among the employees and with whom employees are more comfortable.

How Can Management Help Employees?

Now, it is not being suggested that top management should be present in each and every training session; all that is needed is a brief presence, about once or twice in a week, depending on the overall duration of the Lean 6 Sigma training. Management not need to teach the technical material, because that can be done more effectively by the trainer; all they need to do is to concentrate on the big picture, such as informing the employees about it’s benefits.

They can also spend some time on getting feedback from the employees regarding their experience with the training and what they think can be done to improve the existing training methods and conditions. Such sessions, when conducted along with the main technical training, will go a long way in making the employees more comfortable with the idea (i.e. Lean Six Sigma).

Looking Beyond Lean Six Sigma Training

Training will prove to be a success only when employees become fully aware about the scope and implications of Lean 6 Sigma in an organization. Theoretical tests can be conducted to assess their existing knowledge, but it would be better if the organization uses practical tests as well, because ultimately it is the ability to use theoretical knowledge for practical purposes that determines how well a trainee has grasped the information presented. Testing trainees on the practical aspects of Lean Six Sigma is the way to go for all organizations that aim to transform their existing employees into expert Lean 6 Sigma professionals.

 On the occasion of Golden Jubilee Celebrations it is a great pleasure to review the important role and responsibility shared by the Operational Technical Training (OTT) Section.

The CTE has been imparting civil aviation related training to airline personnel by qualified ground and flying instructors, examiners and check pilots.While the flying crew are flying the aircraft carefully to transport the air passengers safely from place to place, the ground instructors, their classroom mentors , take the total responsibility of making them fit for the profession.

The ground technical instructors of OTT impart theoretical ground class room training. It makes the trainees to visualise and realise the theory described in the manufacturer operations manuals and provides sufficient knowledge for operating the aircraft .Apart from this, various system oriented tests are conducted.

Then the fixed base simulator training is imparted to the trainees. In addition, practical exposure is also given so that they can be confidently handle different emergencies with acquired knowledge.

*************************************************************************

 

From the day of inception of the CTE , the OTT shouldered various responsibilities to improve the standards to that of the best in the world.Various sectional heads dedicated their services for the cause.

Recognising the administrative capabilities and commitments of late Shri J K Mehra, the earlier OTT’s in charge, the Government of India offered him the Chairman’s post of NPCC.He was also appointed as one of Directors on board for Indian airlines!

It’s a great honour for the section! His guidance and blessings inspired the section.

****************************************************************************

In the golden Jubilee period, the OTT section is headed by Sri B G Deokule,Dy GM(OTT) , M Tech (Aero) from IIT Mumbai. He is thoroughly equipped with the best know how knowledge of looking after the section.

He has an excellent and experienced team of Technical Instructors and technical staff.

The entire needs of the DGCA required Operational Technical Training , for the pilots/cabin crew/Flight Operations staff of NACIL(I) and for other Airlines of national and international is imparted by OTT at Central Training Establishment (CTE), Hyderabad.

It is a feather in their cap to say proudly that even the Indian Air Force (IAF) VVIP flight’s Pilots get trained here for their Refresher and Endorsements.

The DGCA prescribed and approved courses include : (1) Basic Technical  training (2)Induction/ Endorsement/ abinitio trainings (3) Refresher /Recurrent trainings (4) Check Pilot trainings (4) Corrective and remedial trainings and (5) specialized trainings like- EGPWS / ETOPS/ RVSM /CAT II, CAT IIIA,CAT IIIB procedures/TCAS/ DGR/differential training courses. 

The section also liaise  with : • Aircraft manufacturers on operational documentation, clarification and changes in the SOPs • DGCA  for approval of the various courses, the Instructors and various manuals • Engineering Dept for Modification  status so that any change in operational procedures are  communicated to the pilots for safe operation of the aircraft. • Flight Safety Dept to study the reports of  incidents / accidents. Necessary Operational      recommendation is implemented to avoid recurrence of incidents / accidents. • Preparation / Revision of Pilots training manuals, DGR Manuals, Cabin Crew Training    Manuals etc. • Preparing documentation to meet IOSA guidelines.      

                                 ************************************************************** 

Elaborate  training aids in class rooms and mockups are available. As a result, the consolidated courses consisting of both theoretical and practical are imparted entirely by OTT Section.The practical training includes various emergencies like  crew incapacitation, emergency evacuation, ditching, fire fighting, cabin smoke etc. Utmost care is taken on these so that the passengers will feel confident of getting rescued in emergencies too!   

                                   **************************************************************

The training has global importance and recognition! 

Shri Rajiv Gandhi, our ex-Prime Minister got endorsed for his HS-748 and B737 trainings while he was in Indian Airlines. Later he shifted to politics and served the nation with dignity, integrity and dedication.Several pilots trained by OTT had proved their academic talent in obtaining better careers in any airlines they wanted.

The potential and standards of OTT are on par with any training establishment across the world. In fact OTT is the best, as continued reviewing and updating of the training requirements is taken care professionally.

As a recognition of concerned professionalism, the premier training institute earned the distinction of becomthe global market and meet various training requirements of any airlines !

As a recognition  India’s first airlines to obtain the approval from DGCA as a Type Rating Training Organization (TRTO).

The confidence and enthusiasm of the OTT team, with their dynamic  sectional head  is all set to capturethe global market and meet various training requirements of any airlines !
