Relocation of Commercial Diver Training Centre to TOLL Offshore Supply Base

Recommencement of Inland/Inshore Commercial Diving Training in Year 2017 under the new ISO 29990:2010 Standard accreditation scheme

KBA Training Centre (KBAT) has now re-located their commercial diver training centre to TOLL Offshore Supply Base in Loyang from SAF Yacht Club Changi. The training centre at SAF Yacht Club was officially opened by Mr. Wong Weng Sun, President & CEO of Sembcorp Marine Ltd, in February 2015.  The move was essential as the government plans to re-develop the Changi land area. Located within the marine/offshore working environment, the new location at Loyang base jetty will be a better training venue. With the move-in and set-up all completed, it is ready for operations and KBAT will be re-commencing the national approved commercial diver training course from January 2017.

KBAT had previously conducted 4 full courses between Year 2014 to 2016 with the graduates gaining employment with the local commercial diving contractors within weeks of completing their training. Being the FIRST Nationally Accredited Commercial Diver Training Centre in Singapore and Asia that is certified under the ISO 29990 Learning Service Providers accreditation scheme and approved by MOM Singapore, the training centre has been established to provide formal commercial diver training in Singapore and for the region, and to raise the operational safety standards within the inland / inshore commercial diving industry.

KBAT has also collaborated with Professional Diving Academy (PDA) – a Commercial Diving School in UK. KBAT has aligned our diver training programme to meet the prior learning requirements so that the graduates have the option to apply to PDA to attend the HSE Surface Supplied Top-up course which will certify them with a UK HSE Part 1 offshore commercial diving qualification.

The next training has been scheduled and confirmed – Level 1, CSCUBA Diver course (09 January to 03 February 2017) and Level 2, SSDE Diver (06 February to 03 March 2017) with courses scheduled throughout 2017.
