They maintain a high standard of training. The atmosphere of learning was really good, instructors are helpful, keep going.
I had H2S OPITO, TBOSIET training here. All the instructors were really good. I was really anxious about the HUET but there were standby divers to assist us. It was not as difficult as I imagined. During evening batches they'll provide dinner also which is really delicious. Overall I'm really satisfied with ETSDC.
Good place in UAE for courses related to joining an vessel or offshore related jobs
