Here are some of the comments that we've had from students who have attended our courses.

'Honestly, I am very grateful for all you have taught me and the strong foundations you gave me for this new career.  I love this life style and read the ROV manual as often as I can.  I am still on a learning curve the size of a rainbow but I’m loving it.  If any of your students have doubts like I had, tell them from me it is all out there if you are not scared of a bit of hard work. The pilots from Fort William may lack some experience but they are hungry and will work 10 times harder than the established pilots, as they are out to prove themselves.  Keep in touch as I hope to get back to see you some day as you are one hell of a good teacher.'

Bruce Carruthers, Impresub International

‘I would like to say a million thanks for your help and assistance.  Throughout my course I gained a lot of great lessons especially the valuable information given by Rob, Steve and Paul, specifically from their own experiences. I appreciate the three of you teaching us beyond the limitation and proud of your patience and humbleness. I never ever faced such trainers before… Those precious memories will stay with me forever.'

Krishnan Kugan - Working for Fugro, Singapore

 

‘Thought I would drop you a quick email to see how you are doing and to let you know my career in the ROV industry is going great. I’mslowly progressing through the ranks with Canyon. Throughout the year I have been working in Angola on a construction project. Actually it was like a Fort William reunion as I’ve have been working with other guys from my course. I have a couple of hundred hours of piloting now and plenty of hours working with manipulators. I’m currently working in Congo and when that’s finished I will be working in the Gulf of Mexico.

I will be having a holiday next summer in Fort William, I will try and pop in to see how things are, and please pass on my regards to Rob.’

‘I would like to thank you for the high standard of your course.  I found the course very informative as an ROV virgin and found that I knew little or nothing about hydraulics.’

Les - Working for Fugro

 

‘Thanks again for the course, I think I would have been in for a shock coming out here without the training from you all, its been a great help.’

Dean - Working for Fugro

 

'Just wanted to thank you for your professional, knowledgeable, brilliant and "too" full of information classes (better more knowledge than less). You have helped me understand concepts which I had originally found difficult to grasp from my electronics course days. I salute your teaching, and give you a 100% grading for it! Thanks once again.'

Kevin - Working for Fugro, Singapore

 

'Just wanted to thank you for all your help in getting me to The Underwater Centre and through the course. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the staff really made me feel at home. It was a great experience. Thanks!'
