Success Stories & Testimonials

Global Marine's Training School takes great pride in providing best-in-class facilities, training, equipment and trainers. But true success in training is measured by the students, their satisfaction, preparedness and achievement.

So we're even prouder to display some comments, stories and testimonials from students who have taken our courses.

"Recently completed the 3 week ROV Pilot/Teac 2 course at Global Marine. I'd highly recommend it if you are looking for a hands on course with plenty of real time practical experience with ROV systems which also gets signed off your log book. The facilities are of a high standard and the Instructors are very knowledgeable and use excellent training methods."

- Terry Singleton (Ex Royal Marines)

"Having been in the industry for a little over a year, I am more convinced than ever that Global Marine Systems was the right choice.  They are very highly regarded by every company I have dealt with and I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to train with them.  Thank you very much Global Marine Systems!"

"I have gained a lot from the course for both myself and my company. Global Marine has delivered more than I expected. I will come back here should I need other training courses."

- Andrew Fenn (Subsea Project Manager, Sub-C Partner)

"I completed my ROV training course back in Feb 09, I found the course a real insight into the offshore world that was very enjoyable, gained lots of knowledge and made some good friends.

Having completed nearly 10 years in the Royal Navy in a technical role I was able to keep pace with all aspects of the course. The driving of the ROV was all new but very easy to get to grips with and good fun. I managed to gain employment almost immediately after the course in the offshore world as a survey engineer and use many of the principles taught on the ROV course."

- Daniel Malone (Geophysical Underwater Engineer, Gardline Marine Sciences)

"On leaving the forces after 12 years, I used my enhanced learning credits to help me fund my ROV technician course. After scanning the courses market for many weeks I found Global Marine's to be the most cost effective and value for money... The course was very intense and enjoyable, I learnt a lot of new skills with new equipment. The staff helped and advised me on all aspects of offshore jobs and equipment. Even after the course had finished they were still happy to offer me help and advice.

"Without this course under my belt I wouldn’t be in the position I am in now, where I am enjoying my job, spending time doing what I want to do and earning twice the amount of money."

- Anthony Melvin (Gems Survey)

"Ming and I attended our ROV pilot/tech course in Portland, England which was conducted by Global Marine Systems Ltd. it's a 3 weeks course that consisted of theory, practicals and simulators. As for my batch, we had 5 participants. the course can accommodate up to 9 ppl (i reckon)... It's not an isolated operations after all. after all those theories, we also been exposed to workshop practicals and all the related tools that will get the job done... As for simulator experience, we had a go in flying leviathon workclass ROV and seaeye tiger for some subsea intervention jobs...

"For real life flying, the seaeye falcon is our machine. we had to open up the shack, place the ROV, pre dive checks, launching it, umbilical monitoring, piloting, co piloting and post dive checked it almost every 2 days. tasks that had been carried out using the falcon are such as pier legs inspection, placement of marker bouys, hull inspection, pier wall inspection, navigation and use of sonar...ready to face a whole new world ahead! ganbatte to all of us!"
