All required protective clothing, towels, and equipment will be provided by the training center depending on the training center location. Please refer to your booking confirmation for any specific items you may need to bring.

Physical Requirements

Courses may include physically demanding components. It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure delegates hold a valid medical examination certificate, where required. Delegates must also sign a medical fitness declaration form prior to participation. FMTC can arrange medical and offshore maritime examinations upon request.

Some courses require a medical examination not only for participation but also as a prerequisite for offshore deployment, depending on project and client requirements. Medicals can be booked directly during the course registration process, and we will schedule the exam as efficiently as possible in coordination with your training dates.

Important: Delegates not meeting these requirements may not participate in the CA-EBS practical exercises.
