Trainings
FOST’s training is geared towards Oil Industry professionals.
Our trainers draw on their field experience in real response conditions to provide high-quality theory and practical training.
The courses vary in length from 3 to 5 days and are held either at the centre in Vitrolles or upon request at an external site to tailor the training to the site’s geographical constraints and the equipment available on-site.
2 types of courses are on offer: an IMO level 1 course and a depot spill management course
