The HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training) training is a training program designed to prepare people who work in offshore or maritime environments for emergency situations involving helicopters. This type of training is crucial to ensure the safety of workers on oil platforms, ships and other offshore facilities where helicopter transportation is common.
This course is designed to equip your teams with the skills and knowledge necessary to face critical situations and ensure their safety in the event of emergency in an underwater environment. During the course, participants will learn escape techniques, safety protocols and survival procedures that are essential to ensure safety and well-being in an underwater helicopter environment.
Specific evacuation techniques are taught, such as the release of seat belts, orientation underwater and exit to the surface. Participants also learn to remain calm and to follow established evacuation procedures.
The main objective of the HUET training is to teach participants how Safely evacuate a helicopter who have landed or fallen into the water, as well as providing them with the necessary skills to survive until they are rescued.
Renewal and Validity of the Certificate: HUET certificates generally have a limited validity, often 2 to 4 years, after which it is necessary to take a refresher course. Make sure you keep your certification up to date to meet employment requirements in different regions. EASTAV is valid for 4 years.
The HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training) course is aimed primarily at the following groups: Offshore Industry Workers: Especially those who need to move to oil platforms, gas platforms and other offshore facilities that commonly use helicopters as a means of transport. This includes engineers, technicians, operators and support staff. Emergency and Rescue Services Personnel: Including those who work in maritime rescue operations or in emergencies where helicopters are used for transportation and rescue. Helicopter Crew: Pilots, co-pilots and other crew members who operate in maritime environments and may be exposed to emergency landing situations. Military and Security Force Personnel: Who use helicopters for operations over water and who must be prepared for emergency situations at sea. Consultants and Security Personnel: Who work on auditing, training and security oversight in offshore operations. The HUET course aims to provide these groups with the skills and knowledge necessary to survive in the event of a helicopter accident over the water, including escape techniques, the use of flotation equipment and water survival procedures.
The HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training) course is widely recognized internationally and, in general, is valid for working in many parts of the world, but it is always good practice to check the specific requirements of the place where you plan to work.
It is not necessary to have previous experience to take the HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training) course. The course is designed to teach people of diverse experiences and skill levels the techniques and procedures necessary to survive in emergency situations involving the landing of a helicopter. However, there are some requirements and recommendations to consider: Health Status: Participants must be in good physical and mental health, as the course can be physically demanding. Some facilities may require a prior medical exam. Age: Participants are generally required to be of legal age (18 years old), although this may vary depending on the regulations of the region or the course provider. Basic Swimming Knowledge: Although not always mandatory, it is highly recommended that participants have basic swimming skills to be able to practice in the water safely and effectively. The HUET course is structured to provide comprehensive training from basic to advanced, so both beginners and those with previous experience in offshore or helicopter operations can equally benefit from training.

Una experiencia de formación IRATA 1 altamente profesional en EASTAV
I recently completed a rope access training course at EASTAV in Sevilla, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From start to finish, the team was professional, attentive, patient, and thorough in their teaching approach.
They make sure that every student feels confident, safe, and supported throughout the course.The equipment is modern, well-maintained, and up to date, which really adds peace of mind during such a hands-on training.
On top of that, they provide a detailed book with all the essential knowledge you need, making it easy to continue learning and revising even outside the classroom.
EASTAV also has its own shop with top-quality products—from clothing to equipos—basically everything you could possibly need to work in the industry. This makes it incredibly convenient to start out fully prepared with reliable gear.
As a woman entering a field where we’re still underrepresented, I have felt nothing but welcome and supported here. EASTAV creates an inclusive environment where anyone can succeed—whether you’re male or female, new to the industry, or already experienced. You just need to be open to learning and willing to put in the effort.
Another big plus is the location—there are plenty of accessible facilities nearby, making the whole experience even more comfortable.
What really impressed me is the variety of globally recognized courses they offer, opening doors to industries such as the wind energy (sector eólico) sector and many others. EASTAV is not just a training center, but a place that helps you take real steps forward in your career.
I highly recommend EASTAV to anyone considering rope access or looking to expand their qualifications.
You’ll be in the best hands.A special thank you to Viviana, José, Hernan and Henry! 🫶
