Sorry but your Brother has it wrong , As a trainee its much less than £500 . Maybe someone can tell us what the rates are for trainees .
I could go into details with rates But the first thing is Whats the vehicle ? Most schools run Seaeye Falcons which is fine for doing jobs like platform inspection or diver support job the problem is there are so many other types of vehicles out there . So doing a rov course and just doing a course with say just a Falcon is not going to help you if you apply for a job were they maybe operating say FMC , SMD or Perry vehicle .
So there is allot more to it than you think and its not cheap and by the sounds of it your need a bank loan .
So like I said do your Survival and medical then look at other offshore jobs , Yes its very busy so I don’t think your have any problems but as for Rov work I should leave it well alone .Just go on facebook and other sites and your find many offshore requirements .
But feel free to come back and tell us how you got on .
Cheers
