OFFSHORE TRAINING FACILITIES

You don’t have to go far for our Marine and Offshore Safety Training (MOST) centre, as it’s located on the riverside at South Shields.

Our extensive and unique facilities, including Europe’s first offshore platform transfer simulator, allow us to provide the most realistic commercial marine courses and merchant navy training environment possible.

Over 100 companies and over 3,000 students each year attend our MOST courses, a testament to the exceptional standard of training we provide.

With our training partner, Safety Technology, new facilities are often installed at MOST to provide a wider range of offshore and maritime safety courses.
