CMIL advertised on here before the forum crash. I have not heard of them (after 2 years working in Egypt).

I would not recommend them as a reputable company for offshore training. They are not well known as a training company, thats for sure.

My opinion only:-

depending on the country you are in, get some nationally recognised qualifications in electrical/electronic/hydraulic course. In the UK, I would say an NVQ or SVQ or National certificate.

Degrees are not highly thought of. Usual thing with a degree is that the person knows the squqre root of an orange but doesn't know how to peel it! i.e. theory is worth nothing, its all about practical experience.

Likewise, any ROV training course done by external training companies are felt to be not worth the money (unless someone else is paying for it!)

Get practical experience plus your offshore survival and medical and start phoning round.
