Offshore Helideck Package Course Overview

Changes to the Helideck Training Framework mean that delegates who wish to gain their OPITO Helideck Emergency Response Team Member (HERTM) for the first time, or who have let their HERTM or OPITO Further Helideck Emergency Response Team Member (FHERTM) certificate lapse, now have to gain their OPITO Helideck Operations Initial Training (HOIT) beforehand.

HOIT training replaces the previous Helideck Assistant (HDA) and Helideck Landing Officer (HLO) training which personnel used to undertake. As per the HDA/HLO training the HOIT certificate has no expiry date. As advised by OPITO, existing HDA training certificates are no longer valid for HERTM unless issued within 2 years of starting HERTM training.

Clyde Training Solutions have created our Offshore Helideck Package, which combines HOIT, HERTM for only £2,300 exc. VAT

NOTE 1 –  In order to attend this package, you must hold a valid HCA Accredited Dangerous Goods by Air certificate.

NOTE 2 – Delegates can choose to defer their HERTM training until a later date, but to choose this option, bookings must be made by calling our customer services team on 0141 427 9411.
