What Past Students had to says

Thanks, CDA for a great course and helping me find employment after the course. Anyone thinking of doing the course just do it you want regret it, the school has great facilities, you’ll meet new friends and get the best training available anywhere.

ADAS Air Diver

The facility, equipment and training that is offered and available to students is nothing short of amazing. The Saturation barge is an experience within its self. I'd doubt you'd get this type of experience anywhere else in the southern hemisphere.

Robbie Buck

ADAS Air Diver

one of the biggest things a noticed was that students even from Part 1 and 2 were being trained exactly as we would if we were working on an offshore and onshore worksite. Something I feel I missed out from previous training elsewhere.
