FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What type of student housing is available?

The area surrounding the school offers many large apartment complexes within walking distance from the school. You select your roommate, if you want one, and you make the arrangements with the complex of your choice.

Is the training expensive?

Our commercial diving and industrial inspection programs are among the least expensive, complete programs of their type available. There are also several local employers that have hired our students as temporary employees. This helps to offset your living expenses and offers you a better lifestyle while you are in school. Financial aid is also available, for those who qualify.

What skills or aptitude do I need to do these programs?

The main skills you need are the willingness to work and the desire to learn. We require that you have a high school diploma or state-issued GED.

Students interested in the Ultimate Diver Training (UDT) program must also pass a medical examination to ensure they are physically able to do the job, and it is strongly recommended that all students be able to pass a background check to obtain a Transportation Worker Identiﬁcation Credential (TWIC) card. While obtaining this card is not a requirement, the inability to obtain a TWIC card may limit a graduate’s job opportunities, especially in off-shore positions.

In 2005 the radiographic used worldwide teaching today

What types of work do commercial divers do?

Commercial divers can do a range of jobs including inspecting and repairing oilrigs, pipelines, bridges, water towers, and dams as well as working on salvage operations.

Is diving uncomfortable, difﬁcult or dangerous?

There is some discomfort, difﬁculty and risk in commercial diving, just as there is in other outdoor, active occupations. Commercial divers believe the excitement, job satisfaction and high pay more than make up for these challenges. Additionally, advancements in the ﬁeld have made the job safer and more comfortable than ever before. Historically, the greatest comfort issue with diving was working in cold water. With the advent of hot water diving suits and hightech, dry-suit systems, these discomfort issues have been eliminated. The risks to a modern diver have been minimized by better technology, safety procedures and personnel training. In fact, workplace accidents involving diver personnel are far less frequent today than in the early days of the profession.

In 2005 the radiographic testing training manual used worldwide by most every NDT educator teaching today was written by an Ocean Corporation Instructor.

Program 01: Ultimate Diver Training - EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: Upon completion of the required training, each student is prepared to begin employment in the commercial diving or the ROV or the Drone industries. UDT graduates also have sufficient training in Ultrasonic and Magnetic Particle Testing to obtain entrylevel positions in certain nondestructive testing/industrial inspection occupations.

Program 01: Ultimate Diver Training – MEDICAL MATRICULATION REQUIREMENTS:

In order to begin lab courses after completion of the lecture courses, students pass a medical examination, to be documented on The ADCI Medical History Form (Meddoc rev 08/17/2017). This form will be provided by The Ocean Corporation to all prospective UDT students. All students enrolled in the UDT program must submit a completed medical evaluation form, signed by a medical doctor licensed in the United States. It is highly recommended that students obtain the examination and submit the completed form prior to beginning lecture classes, but the completed form absolutely must be submitted prior to the conclusion of five weeks of instruction at The Ocean Corporation. Students who do not submit the completed form by the end of the five-week period will not be permitted to move on (that is, matriculate) to the lab portion of the program.
