TT-101 Troubleshooting Training: This five-day course covers fundamental troubleshooting techniques for Schilling ROV systems in a controlled classroom environment. It includes both lectures and hands-on practical exercises. Key topics include power longline, serial communications, DTS network, fiber longline, topside computer integrations, GUI familiarization, Node Changer, DTS viewer and telemetry system overview. Students will engage in daily practical exercises such as checking resistance on random parts, integrating topside computers, configuring subsea nodes, performing fiber terminations and integrating and configuring subsea components into the network. The course culminates into a comprehensive practical exercise where students will configure and integrate a complete “ROV system” while troubleshooting random induced issues that students will have to work through to successfully get power and comms to the provided subsea components. 

SIM-201 ROV Simulator Training: This three-day course provides ROV pilot training using a virtual simulator. It includes a complete setup with pilot and co-pilot chairs, a GUI interface, HUD displays, rack components, tooling pods and Atlas and T-4 manipulator controls. Training begins with Hammerhead GUI familiarization and progresses to basic subsea piloting skills, including undocking/docking the ROV from the TMS, tether management and manipulator functionality. Students will then complete multiple scenarios to enhance their piloting and co-piloting skills for the Schilling GEN 3/HD ROV systems, similar to what they may encounter on current jobs including BOP installation, tree installation, tree lock down and test, BOP intervention, pipeline inspection, windfarm anode inspections and other scenarios.
