However, if this is not the case then the BOSIET course will be required prior to travelling offshore and the learner will receive some reinforcement of knowledge previously gained.
There are no specific medical requirements, although personnel must have a current offshore medical certificate before being allowed to work offshore. No offshore medical certificate is required before OPITO MIST.
