    Came to Stream Marine to re-new my offshore BOSIET.
    Fantastic facility, training curriculum was on par with the well known providers in Aberdeen and Newcastle.
    Paul, Nicole and Donald were on par delivering the training modules.

    Hi everyone, I’ve just passed BOSIET & MIST here and can fully recommend this training center!) Especially for people from Ukraine who want to build their career in the Oil & Gas sector in the UK, you will not find a better training center than this one.

    As an experienced offshore freelance worker in the O&G industry I needed a training establishment that didn’t treat those of us requiring re validation of FOET like a cash cow.
    I wanted to find an establishment that didn’t herd its delegates through the process like an abattoir.
    At SMT I do believe I found it.
    Starting the day with humour and light hearted banter as delegates checked in, the relaxed yet professional approach to delivery of the subject.
    The recognition that six experienced delegates didn’t need talking down to, nor points belaboured was helpful. We six delegates all appeared relaxed and confident that SMT were treating us like adults and all of us seemed to enjoy our day doing our FOET.
    As a mature individual with many refreshers under my belt I still approach certain elements of pool work with trepidation. To have a diver spend time ensuring I was calm and relaxed to get the most out of the EBS element, to have plenty of other poolside staff all keeping an eye out and encouraging us was refreshing compared to other establishments.
    I cannot sing the praises of SMT highly enough.
    Competitively priced, efficiently run, a corporate deal at Holiday Inn Express saving me £40 and a good lunchtime sandwich made my Friday wiz by.
    The “Harry Worth” gag first thing in the morning was memorable

    Following a change of career, I was required to undertake the STCW Basic Safety Training Course. Over may years in the public sector I have undertaken a large number of role specific training courses and was a bit apprehensive of a complete change. I needn't have worried as the staff at Steam Marine provided 5 days of well structured, informative training. Although all the candidates were from contrasting backgrounds and experience, the staff supported us and provided high quality training that engaged everyone. The entire cohort gelled and worked together for the common goal of successfully completing each stage. The experience was excellent and enjoyable with learning mixed with humour. I would highly recommend taking one of their courses, and hope I get another opportunity of being able to come back a gain more knowledge and experience. Just warm the pool a bit more for us previous land lovers.

    Divers and assisting staff couldn't have been better, good facilities and good location.
    Be prepared to be spoke to like a soldier and a child by Gina who takes the course. Didn't like being questioned to the point I got ignored.
    She spends a lot of time waffling on about herself when all you want to do is crack on with the course and get home.
    Apart from her id highly recommend stream marine , great price too.

    The instructor Niall doesn’t make you feel at ease in his classes (FPFF + PST), often taking the piss out of people and acting like he’s still in the Royal Navy. My class was too scared and intimidated to answer most questions in case we got them wrong. He needs to speak to people with more respect. Niall also went around the class asking everyone what their salary was and that he was on £34k as an instructor at SMT which was unprofessional. He got offended when some people said they earned double his salary. He then asked if he could get a job with that company as he has 32 years experience in the Royal Navy.

    I renewed my STCW certificates here September 2021. Good instructors. The fire fighting facility has no showers and you have to walk to the other side of the airport (to Stream House) to get a shower. Not ideal when your stinking of smoke and sweating buckets after fighting fires!

    Was booked on route 1 FRB refresher the 20th August and the course was delayed due to another ongoing course. I knew something was wrong when they pushed Two tea breaks onto us within an hour and this is after starting late aswell. According to the itinerary the second part of the course was in Greenock from 1500 till 1700, we were still in the course centre at Paisley at 1615. I raised my concerns that I wouldn't be back to Paisley training centre in time to check my hold luggage in and they showed no interest whatsoever and said I would need to come back on another date. On top of the original course price I have had flights and accommodation to pay for and there attitude is I will have to pay again because they are double booking there training venues to reap more money. When I booked the course I asked the reception what time I would be back in Paisley so I book flight and I was assured it would be 1700. Also throughout the day myself and another candidate raised concerns with the instructors about getting back for 1700 and they said not a problem. Due to stringing people along people were unable to change flights

    I did a Medical First Aid training, instead of Medical Care what I have booked. Even I did plenty first aid trainings already and myself also First Aid Instructor, I should say the Instructor during the training was very good he knows more than requested for this training, professional and kind. No Scottish accent at all.
    I had some issues because of booking, but the administrative staff was flexible and we solved the issue in 2-3 min. Highly recommended for seafarers.

    I was told to arrive and received joining instructions for the wrong day, costing me a days work and travel costs. When I tried to complain, I got nowhere, like they could not care less.

    I had my fire prevention update course today and was so impressed that I decided to book my survival technique course when I got home. It was 17:30 when I booked it and out of hours. I contacted SMT on Facebook and explained that I booked after hours and didn’t have any joining instructions. They went the extra mile and ensured that I had everything I needed within a few hours so that I could go to sleep knowing everything was in place. Fantastic service and I would fully recommend.
