If, among other options that are seriously considering getting a job offshore on an oil rig or work of seafarers at sea in a ship supply after waiting or have to look at these as a basic guide just for starters.

First you need to get a proper survival training at sea, Basic Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET). This is a breakdown of what it means to work in Europe. Although I have worked all over the World mandatory training I have done in Scotland has been sufficient, if not more stringent than what is legally required to work elsewhere in the world. Then is a breakdown of the (BOSIET).

1) a briefing about the offshore industry
Helicopter training 2) Escape
3) Personal Survival training
4) The use of totally enclosed survival craft powered engines or lifeboat (TEMPSCs) and life rafts
5) Post first aid escape
6) fire (the use of fire extinguishers and basic self-contained breathing apparatus rescue)
7) Work Permit system
emergency breathing systems (EBS)

The above training costs about  £ 600 UK pounds for 3 days Training also must pass a medical examination costs about  £ 100 also. The (BOSIET) lasts 4 years and 2 years physician.

If you think about the work at sea in the Norwegian North Sea have to do a course of 5 days (The Association of Norwegian Oil Industry (OLF) of the course. If you plan to work in the U.S. I think your course is very similar equivalent.

So now you can legally go offshore in most of locations around the world, but it is necessary to find a particular job at sea, perhaps the transfer of skills you already have or starting at the bottom make the beds or worker. Or you can spend more money to get qualified to award other skills that will help you get into a better position, which in turn will cost.

Do an investigation of offshore oil jobs in your area and get an idea of the costs involved.

Another thing worth mentioning is that it must be of a particular line of thought that fits very well working abroad. You're trapped in a controlled environment for your whole trip could be a month or in the worst cases. You can not go in his car at the end of a hard day and off work, eat and sleep you breathe It!

You have to be comfortable sharing room with a stranger and deal with very little privacy. In most oil platforms in Europe is least 2 man cabins, but in some man at least 4 countries is not uncommon. A lot of oil platforms and ships have communal toilets and showers so also not in the suite!

From the moment you wake until you go to sleep is on the face in your mind. Even when you're asleep is not uncommon below an area where no work There is constant noise of machinery or night / the day shift staff. Especially if you are a subcontractor that is guaranteed to get the worst accommodation they have. Core crew get the best of the bad. Then there is the activation of the alarm is not uncommon in the middle of the night when you should get out of bed and began to their muster station wearing his life jacket, a great deal of time is a false alarm, but not always.

All that is enough for now, I do not want Being critical of the work at sea comes to give a true and accurate observation of the same through my experience of offshore and simply ask that before deciding on it as a race that looks in the following as a better option that is much more free to make money and live.
