I completed my IMCA Trainee Air Diving Supervisor course in January 2022 and it was a very completed preparatory course.
Through the program you can acquire all the information necessary to understand the work of the diving supervisor and how carry it out safely.
As soon as I finished the course I started the Trainee Bell Diving Supervisor course.
Thank you Ian and Norman!
Trauma Training is highly recommended!

Excellent learning platform with tons of valuable resources. The questions in the quizzes and homework actually teach you how to utilize the IMCA documents, and source them for the answers you are looking for.
The ability to review any of the lessons is a breeze.
Highly recommend, perfect set-up for either at home or offshore.

I have just passed my ADS exam and just want to say a big thank you to Ian, I found the exam prep course extremely helpful and used it a lot prior to my exam. Really good being able to go back and watch the lessons whenever you want, and the mock exams at the end truly helped.
Thanks again to Ian and his Team

This is a well laid out online training course and excellent learning platform. It provides you with good information on how to use an online course and how to get the best out of it. Access to all the relevant information from IMCA, HSE, DMAC etc. is provided with additional course notes. Lectures cover most areas needed and are well delivered and available for repeated viewing from the time of booking. Something that is really helpful when you are sifting through subject mater and getting lost. Queries and questions sent in by email are answered in good time ie. Physics questions answered with working out provided and follow up explanation during the actual live course zoom lectures. In the past having attended a classroom based course I would say this is the way to go for myself as it gives you more time to study and fit that study in around your life. It may not be for everyone as you do need the discipline to study alone and you do need to make some uninterrupted space in your life for that study. Both Ian and Norman were very knowledgeable in there fields and gave the support needed. Obviously the rest is up to the individual.
On the IT side the course was easy to navigate through with only one minor glitch on a page that was easy to address. Zoom lectures are simple to open and participate in and require no special IT skills. Hope more courses start to use this type of platform as it has some real positive aspects for offshore workers who already spend to much time away from home.

I have just refreshed my TADS course with Trauma Training. I found it good value for money, and being all on line, very flexible. I carried out most of my studying offshore, which has saved me 5 days out of my leave period and enabled me to quickly obtain a fresh TADS certificate which was not possible anywhere else.
The course was detailed with access to all IMCA documents that are required for the final IMCA exam.

I was sceptical at first booking an online course for both the TADS and TBDS courses ,
Having just passed both these ,i now know that the advantages that doing this online far out way doing this in a classroom environment.
The modules are well presented and offer you the flexibility to pedal back and revisit areas when you need to .systematically it also prompts you to get your head into the Imca manuals where you need to be.
You also have the benefit of self test questions that mimic the exam questions in preparation for IMCA exams .
Ian gets back to you with any queries quickly. All in all …First class!

Online TADS training and exam completed today.
Online course is very good and useful. Videos, quizzes and homework packages help to keep you in the right pace to pass the exam. And they are still available afterwards to keep revising for the IMCA exam.
Online meetings with Norman were very interesting and definitely made the perfect addition to the online contents. Any questions he would e-mail you back with the answers and useful advices.
We experienced a little glitch with the website during the week but Ian had it sorted out shortly so it was no bother at all.
Strongly recommend this course. Thanks to the team to be so dedicated!

Trauma Training provide a great course. Having taken the DMTR course with Ian several times over the years, it’s great to see the no nonsense approach to teaching transfers so well to the TADS course. The online learning makes this course very convenient. Being able to access the lessons from the minute you book means you can chip away at it over several weeks. Ian’s vast experience in the areas of advance trauma life support makes for some interesting tutorials and Normans daily zoom meetings talking through real life scenarios are a valuable insight to any would be supervisors. Can’t recommend the Trauma Training team enough, appreciate all your help and guidance, guys.
