im from Aberdeen in Scotland, how would i go about getting a job as an underwater welder?

[TUCFortWilliam]

@jordofthejungle2 To work as a diver in the UK you need HSE commercial diving certs. These are also accepted globally. If you already have welding experience this will help when looking for work as a commercial diver however while the same principles apply to underwater welding, it’s slightly different disciplines. Our Construction Career Package gives you all the HSE certs you need to work inshore & offshore, and includes vital hands-on, real-life training on subsea tools and underwater welding

You can email us on info@theunderwatercentre.co.uk­, one of our student advisors will pick up your email from there. Look forward to hearing from you.

@tucfortwilliam I'm doing the HSC,both restricted and unrestricted

[TUCFortWilliam]

@jhrisado It's difficult to say without knowing exactly which course you are attending, but if you're certification isn't HSE, ADAS, Canadian or South African then its likely you will only be able to dive in your region. If you gain experience as a commercial diver there then its possible to do an Experienced Candidate Assessment to get the internationally recognised HSE certfication at a later date. If you want to talk in more detail about it then please don't hesitate to contact us directly.

@tucfortwillims,hi I'm from Trinidad and Tobago and I'm getting in to the underwater welding business,im starting the courses next week and it's costing me A LOT of freaking money but seeing that I live in a third-world country,can you tell me what are the requirements I need to be recognize world wide,I what certificates I need,just to know so I wouldn't be spending my money badly stupid and I'm 18 btw

[TUCFortWilliam]

@jhrisado What course are you doing? HSE, ADAS, and the Canadian and South African certs are the only diving tickets that are recognised everywhere in the world, with HSE and ADAS standards usually being preferred.

@gm556 HAHA! i was one of the cleanest welders topside. get underwater and that all goes out the window. it takes years and years of practical experience to be consistantly good at it.

@TUCFortWilliam thanks for the help

Welding is a HARD job to get hired on to .

I went to Welding school for tig, stick, and pipe. (yes i past all my classes)

everyone wanted 5 year work experience minimum

NO one! wanted to take a chance on some one fresh out of school.

good luck every one
