    The Compex cost £1000 sterling, I was lucky enough to get on the FAS pilot course "Access to Offshore" which was up in Donegal if your unemployed check out the FAS website or Effective Offshore. ie. The course consists of:
    BOSIET
    MIST
    Rigger Stage 1
    Slinger/Banksman Stage 1
    I'm also down to do a 10 week Instrumentation course in June if nothing comes up in the meantime. Also if your unemployed contact FAS about a grant towards the Compex, they give €500 its not loads but it helps as flights and digs bring it closer to €2000 to do the course. If you want to PM your email I have the course cd I can burn you a copy so you have an idea what it's all about before you go over.

    Hi Colin
    The hearing test is probably the toughest part but even if you don't do to well on that you can get a restricted medical cert from the doctor

    TBH I don't really know it depends how bad it is, but I do know that you can get restricted access so you wouldn't be able to work in areas where the noise is above a certain level.

    The course is designed for: English-speaking electricians who work with and carry out maintenance on Norwegian low-voltage electrical installations.

    Here's a link to the course:

    Having the EX Basic course would be helpful too but some companies will pay for you to do this course (probably not ICDS though ):

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨
