What is FOET and why is it important?

FOET (Further Offshore Emergency Training) is a mandatory refresher course for offshore workers who already hold a valid BOSIET certificate. Approved by OPITO, the course ensures workers maintain essential safety skills and stay up to date with offshore emergency procedures.

What does the FOET course cover?

• Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET)
• Use of Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS)
• Basic Firefighting
• Emergency first aid and evacuation procedures

Who needs to complete FOET?

Any offshore worker whose BOSIET certificate is due to expire must complete FOET to remain compliant. It's especially critical for those travelling by helicopter to offshore installations.

How long is the FOET certificate valid for?

The certificate is valid for 4 years. Renewal before expiration is required to continue working offshore without interruption.

How do I book FOET training?

View upcoming dates and book via the OPITO Courses page. For urgent or group bookings, please contact us directly.

Can I take FOET online?

FOET requires practical training (HUET, fire response), so it must be completed in person at our accredited facility.

Is FOET internationally recognised?

Yes. FOET is OPITO-approved and recognised globally by offshore energy operators.
