OPITO courses are required for anyone planning to work offshore in the oil and gas industry. These trainings ensure you have the safety knowledge and practical skills to operate in challenging offshore environments.
An OPITO certificate is an important requirement for offshore jobs, but it does not guarantee employment. You still need to apply with companies and meet their hiring criteria.
Most OPITO certificates are valid for 4 years. After that, you must take a refresher course (such as FOET) to keep your certification active.
