Web-Based Study Options for the Offshore Drilling Industry

With an offshore worker's limited time off, managing an efficient and effective training schedule presents significant challenges.

Houston Marine Training Services has developed an easy and convenient way to study for the Coast Guard license/endorsement examination using a Web-Based Study (WBS) program.  WBS utilizes the power and convenience of the Internet for the delivery of targeted examination preparation.

How does it work?
Houston Marine's Web-Based Study program provides immediate online access to the Q&A used on the test along with all of the study and reference material required to prepare for the Coast Guard license/endorsement exam.  There are two options available:

WBS Kit
WBS Kit includes a complete set of reference books per student along with Internet access to the Q&A program.  This is the preferred choice if a student plans to study during his time off and wants to own all of the supplemental study material for future reference.

WBS Q&A
WBS Q&A only provides individual students Internet access only.  You can allow your employees access to the reference materials by setting up a library on the rig and having students reuse the books. Once a book set has been purchased for each course of study, it won't be necessary to continue purchasing new books for each new student, saving you significant training expense.
