Course structure

The course is a combination of theoretical and practical sessions. Students are assessed continuously during the course.

  • Understand the rationale and use of CA-EBS systems in helicopter emergency situations, including the fundamental differences between re-breather and compressed air systems.
  • Identify hazards associated with CA-EBS.
  • Undertaken a pre-flight inspection of the life jacket and CA-EBS.
  • Don the life jacket with CA-EBS correctly, including ‘buddy check’.
  • Undertake an emergency deployment of the CA-EBS in a dry environment. 

  

Course prerequisites

A valid in-date BOSIET / FOET / HUET or T-BOSIET / T-FOET / T-HUET certificate.  If pre-requisite training took place at another centre a copy of this certificate must be forwarded to enable a validity check.

 

Medical requirements

All students participating in this course must be physically and mentally capable of participating fully. A medical declaration and screening form will be required prior to the course.

We advise you to discuss any health implications with a medical professional in advance of the course. Wood Training reserves the right to decline or restrict access to training for
reasons of health and safety. 

See below for an important post-training warning.

  

Assessment process

Practical assessment which takes place when the student is ready/has shown that they can perform all tasks required.  Assessment involves pre-inspection of a life jacket with CA-EBS unit before donning and carrying out an emergency deployment activity including breathing and purging.

 

Certification

An OPITO approved Dry CA-EBS Initial Deployment certificate will be awarded to students who successfully complete all theory and practical components of the course. Results will be registered with OPITO.

 

Revalidation/Refresher

OPITO advises it is the student’s employer's company’s responsibility to determine the validity and revalidation requirements of this certificate.

It is recommended that training be revalidated with the appropriate OPITO FOET certificate upon expiry of their current BOSIET or FOET Certificate. This ensures relevant and appropriate knowledge and skills are maintained on a recurring basis.

This timeframe is every four years.

 

Post-Training Warning

There is an increased risk of decompression sickness if you fly at altitude after breathing compressed air underwater.

As per the Divers Alert Network (DAN) published Revised Flying After Diving Guidelines for Recreational Diving – May 2002, a minimum pre-flight surface interval of 12 hours is recommended. Students should take this into consideration when arranging for travel after course completion and refer to their Company's HSE department for advice.

While students on this course will not be operating the CA-EBS underwater the use of compressed air maintains a risk.

  

Items to bring

  • Photo ID (Government Issued).
  • Appropriate streetwear can be worn.
