OMI1 Training in Vitrolles (France)

June 2025: IMO level 1 training course

Each year, FOST organises training courses at its centre in Vitrolles. 

This year, the first session of the IMO level 1 training course was held from 23/06 to 27/06/2025. It was attended by 6 participants from TotalEnergies and LyondellBasell. 

The course comprised both classroom-based theory lessons and practical exercises during which the trainees had to devise and organise a strategy to respond to oil spills in the aquatic environment.

This group of trainees was the first to try out a new exercise site in Le Canet marina in Saint-Chamas.

The results of the end-of-course quiz (with a score over 93%) confirmed the proactive involvement of this dynamic, enthusiastic group in the training course.
