Workboat Training Needs Met at Seawork
01 May 2005
Ever mindful of small workboat training needs, Seatrek Training Limited comes to Seawork 2005 with a new Competent Deckhand Course. The course has been designed by Seatrek’s John Robertson specifically to address this neglected aspect of commercial<$>workboat training.
The new course covers seamanship, life saving, fire fighting, safe working practices, steering and lookout, and some basic engineering. John Robertson will be on Stand S59 in the main hall at Seawork throughout the exhibition to discuss both this new course and Seatrek’s popular programme of boat handling and shore based training, which is delivered across Scotland and the North of England to a wide range of commercial workboat users.
Speaking of the new course, John Robertson said, ‘There is a need for new workboat crew, from whatever background, to undergo training before they go afloat. In the typical workboat, if the skipper is inexperienced or shorthanded, there is little chance that new crew will get proper training or indeed any training at all. Our new course will at least make the new crewman a developing asset instead of a liability to himself and others.’
