A bright orange lifeboat is being launched from a dock into the water, creating a splash. There are additional lifeboats and industrial structures in the background.

Our best-in-class marine training facility delivers a full range of industry-accredited and bespoke marine training for the offshore oil and gas and maritime industries.

With direct access to Aberdeen Harbour, our facility is accredited by leading training bodies including OPITO, STCW and RYA and offers a versatile true-to-life training environment using the very latest marine equipment, lifeboats and fast rescue crafts for the offshore and maritime sectors.

Following major investment in lifeboat simulator technology, we are also the only training centre in the world to offer practical and virtual lifeboat training for coxswains for free fall and twin fall escape scenarios.

A group of people in safety helmets and life vests are aboard an orange boat near industrial storage tanks on a sunny day.
