Course overview
The Helideck Emergency Response Team Leader's (HERTL's) training and competency evaluation programs introduce a combined approach of onshore and offshore workplace training and evaluation. In that case, onshore training in emergency response procedures, communication, leadership, and decision-making gives participants theoretical and practical skills.
This will enable them to undertake their future offshore workplace training and assessment as they implement what they learn in live situations to ensure readiness in offshore emergency responses’ coordination. A large-scale preparation program that encompasses both onshore as well as offshore segments guarantees that the HERTLs can manage emergency situations at helidecks; thereby improving safety rules and ensuring protection of people’s lives as well as property.

Training covers emergency response planning, helideck emergency systems, firefighting, team leadership, communication, NUI response, casualty management and human factors during emergencies. - 6. Does HERTL training include practical emergency exercises?
Yes. HERTL training includes practical exercises designed to develop the ability to lead the team and manage simulated helideck and helicopter emergency situations safely. - 7. What does a HERTL do during a helicopter emergency?
A HERTL directs the emergency response team, gives clear instructions, manages firefighting and rescue activities, and continually assesses changing risks to the team. - 8. Is HERTL training required for Helicopter Landing Officers (HLOs)?
HERTL is closely linked to the HLO emergency-response role, as the HLO may lead the helideck emergency response team during a helicopter-related emergency. The exact training pathway depends on the applicable training standard and role requirements. - 9. How long is the HERTL certificate valid?
HERTL initial certification is commonly maintained through a two-year revalidation cycle, with HERTL-F (Further) training used for revalidation where applicable. - 10. What is the difference between HERTL and HERTL-F?
