Course details

The OPITO HUET with CA-EBS (5295) stands for Helicopter Underwater Emergency Escape Training with Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System and is designed for personnel who travel by helicopter to and from offshore oil and gas installations or vessels. This training is essential for anyone working offshore who may be required to respond to helicopter emergencies, with a focus on safe escape following a ditching at sea. The HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training) is delivered as a single module within the broader OPITO BOSIET course. Unlike other offshore safety courses, the OPITO HUET does not have a refresher option. This means it must be fully retaken every 4 years once the certification expires.
