The BOSIET course at GCTC was exceptional. The HUET pool sessions were realistic and gave me the confidence I needed. Capt. Okafor is an outstanding instructor and the certificate was issued the same day.
I've taken BOSIET twice before at other centers, but GCTC's program is by far the best. The live firefighting exercise was intense and practical. Will return for my FOET refresher.
Great course overall. The sea survival module was particularly useful. The online certificate verification system is a nice touch.
