More about this product

Training Overview

All operator courses include the basics of sub-sea acoustics and the principles supporting Sonardyne’s 6G acoustic positioning technologies.

Our in-water training is delivered at our Sea Trials and Training Centre in Plymouth. Training here enables course delegates to better prepare for off-shore operations and become confident in how to diagnose and overcome environmental issues.

At our regional training centres you will receive the same excellent instruction, delivered by the professional trainers from Plymouth, utilising our very latest version of 6G Simulator to drive the product software and mimic real-life environmental conditions.

The maximum course size is 6 people, thus ensuring that attendees get the ideal opportunity to develop their operating skills on our products with expert support from the Trainer.

Available courses include; Fusion 2 6G+ INS Operator Training, Fusion 6G LBL Operator Competency, Fusion LBL Requal (for customers who have previously completed the Fusion 6G LBL unassessed course and wish to gain the recently introduced Competency Certificate), SPRINT S5 & S10, Ranger2 USBL, MiniRanger2 USBL, Marksman LUSBL, DPINS, PIES, Monitor & AMTs and Connect Metrology. In addition we run 1-day practical workshops (technology taster sessions) on USBL, LBL and INS.

In addition to our face-to-face training we also offer online WEBEX tuition; these low cost half-day sessions are a convenient way of avoiding skill fade or picking up useful tips in the comfort of your own home or office. Follow Plymouth Training Dates tab above for details of planned online sessions.
Depending on the course attendees might include:

• Captains
• DPOs
• BCOs
• Electrical Technicians
• Party Chiefs
• Hydrographic Surveyors
• Survey Engineers/Technicians
• Project Managers
• Rig Managers
• Drilling Superintendents
• ROV Crew

Many clients ask us to train a project team on a specific job prior to mobilisation and deployment. This cost-effective bespoke service has proved very helpful in identifying and avoiding potentially costly issues downstream, and gives the team the opportunity to use the equipment in the context of their project. Using a combination of live equipment and simulators we can closely emulate the hardware setup, environment and conditions expected and tailor a training package to support the job specifics. With direct access to Sonardyne training and support staff, the project team can discuss optimum configurations and settings and establish a good working relationship to ensure the project runs smoothly.
