Know The Difference Between T-HUET And HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training) And Which Is Better For Your Specialization

The T-HUET, required by oil operators such as Total and Shell, must present OPITO (Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organization) certification, proving that it has content that meets its standards. There are institutions that sell the course without this endorsement. Regarding the difference between HUET and T-HUET, it may not have been clear throughout the theoretical and practical instruction as it is very subtle. Moreover, throughout this article, we will be as concise as possible for your understanding.

HUET –  The Traditional Helicopter Underwater Escape Training Course

To get straight to the point, one can assert that the HUET – Helicopter Underwater Escape Training – is also known in Brazil as Helicopter Underwater Escape Training, especially for those who work in the offshore industry. It is a basic training in safety procedures for escaping helicopters in the event of an accident when flying over water.

As of now, HUET is not a standardized training by any official agency in Brazil and is not mandatory for work on Petrobras offshore platforms. In other words, it is not required by some offshore companies operating in the country.

T-HUET –  A Version Of HUET That Prepares The Crew For All Scenarios In The Event Of A Landing On Tropical Waters

The T-HUET and HUET underwater escape training provides the resources and skills necessary to stay safe and escape from a helicopter that has landed in water.

No matter how frightening the idea of a helicopter falling into the water may be, the skills needed to keep safe in such an event can be learned in just one day. The course preparing you for the offshore industry is open to anyone interested, with no need for complex qualifications prior to enrollment.

The course combines practical exercises with the learning of theory on various escape techniques, safe equipment deployment. Along with this, various emergency procedures and when to use them.

When you are in the dark, you will practice escapes in various positions of rotation and at various levels of submersion. In addition to practicing escape in the dark, you will also practice a series of more complex escapes, such as escaping from a helicopter with multiple exit points blocked.

Finally, the certificate is valid for four years. After this period, you will need to retrain. You do not need any specific qualifications or training to enroll in a HUET or T-HUET course. The course can be taught in a full day, but it is all worth it in the offshore industry.
