Part 1 – online learning

• Major incident management

Part 2 – two days in the classroom

• Structured patient assessment

• Advanced life support
• Suturing and wound closure
• Catheterisation
• Intravenous and intraosseous administration
• Practical emergency scenarios

Taught by clinicians who have worked offshore.

How you are assessed

• Online module assessments and written submissions

• Clinical scenario assessment

What you will hold on completion

• HSE Offshore Medic certification, valid a further three years from the date of issue

You need a current HSE Offshore Medic certificate that has not yet expired.

If yours has already lapsed, call us before you assume you have to start again. Depending on how long it has been, requalification may still be possible. That decision rests with you, us and your dutyholder, and it is worth the phone call.

There are several ways to pay, and a few ways to pay less.

Secure your place with a 20% deposit

You do not need to pay in full to book. Pay 20% at checkout and secure your place on the date you want. The balance is due before your course starts.

Pay in full with Klarna

Choose Klarna at checkout and spread the cost on Klarna’s terms. Your place is paid in full and confirmed straight away. Subject to Klarna’s eligibility checks.

12-month payment plan

Pay across twelve monthly instalments at 0% interest. Speak to our team before booking to set this up.

ELCAS funding

Service leavers may be able to claim up to 80% of the course fee through ELCAS. We are an approved provider and can help with the paperwork.

Multiple booking discount

Employers booking four or more learners receive 15% off the total, including any optional services added at checkout.

Course fee money-back guarantee

Staying overnight

Travelling to us from outside Teesside? We have agreed learner rates with the Sporting Lodge Inn at Stainton, a 5 to 10 minute drive from our Stockton-on-Tees centre, with easy access from the A19 and A174.

• £75 per night – bed and breakfast
• £95 per night – dinner, bed and breakfast, including a two-course evening meal and a drink

Both rates include free on-site parking and free use of the hotel gym and 25-metre pool. There is a pub and restaurant on site.

These rates are only available through us, not directly with the hotel. Add the nights you need to your checkout when you book your course, and we will arrange it and confirm the details with you.

Rooms are subject to availability, so book as early as you can. Plans change, so if you need to cancel your room, do so up to 24 hours before arrival and we will refund it.
