They will take first timers. They did me many years ago.

James---a paradox indeed, just you Donald Duck or you know some one to give you a kick in the door...

Several Union Organizers, M P's and Forum Members attempted to establish an Offshore Academy in 1998, the aspiration was to give Practical and Theoretical Training ( Scaffold ) in the Oil and Gas Industry, the Government of the day endorsed the initiative, however, when Brown took over the Premiership he pulled the plug on the idea...

Just remember no one was born offshore just like no one was born holding a spanner (or impact wrench in these modern times) and no one was born with an advanced card.
just keep plugging away you will get there if you really desire it.

James---good advice there from HSWT...keep foning and e-mailing---dont give up...
