When working offshore, it’s not always practical or possible to assess a Candidate ‘in the moment’ as the working environment and the tasks being undertaken can make it virtually impossible.
A question which has, understandably, been asked of MTCS on a number of occasions is regarding the length of time that a certificate of competence is valid for.
Undertaking competence programmes does require commitment and investment, but what price can put on someone’s safety and, ultimately, their life?
