The aim is to identify potential failure modes before they occur and to minimise the risk of failure.

The JFD FMECA courses are designed to provide suitably experienced technical personnel with the understanding and framework for performing a FMECA.

The course is split into an awareness (one day) and a practitioner (three day) course.

The courses are specifically focused on a saturation dive system and uses the NHC in house saturation system for practical exercises.

Course Overview

The 3 day FMECA Practitioner Training Course is designed to provide suitably experienced technical personnel with the understanding and framework for performing a FMECA. The course is specifically focused on a saturation dive system and uses the NHC in house saturation system for practical exercises.

FMECAs are designed to:- 

  • Identify potential failure modes for a system
  • Assess the risk associated with those failure modes
  • Rank the issues in terms of importance
  • Identify corrective actions required to address the most critical concerns

Although applicable to any industry, the NHC FMECA Awareness Course has been designed to specifically focus on Saturation Diving Systems.

The aim is to identify potential failure modes before they occur and to minimise the risk of failure by proposing:-

  • Design changes
  • Operational procedures
  • Preventative maintenance plans

Course Objectives

The FMECA Practitioner Course is a three day course designed not just to brief personnel of the principles of FMECs but also to give them the skills to carry out top down FMECAs of diving systems.

Course aims to provide delegates with the technical understanding, knowledge of applying the FMECA methodology, within a structured FMECA document framework and templates to understand how to facilitate a FMECA, and practical experience on executing part of a Saturation Dive System FMECA.

NB In order to carry out FMECAs, candidates will require, in addition to completing this course, to demonstrate they have the necessary experience and specific technical and reporting skills through a formal competence verification process.

FMECA Practitioner Course Content 

Theoretical modules are complemented by detailed practical sessions.

  • Performing the FMECA on a simple system
  • Ranking the criticality items
  • Verifying the FMECA
  • Applying the FMECA

Day Two and Three

  • Preparing for a top down FMECA on a saturation dive system
  • Developing the relevant boundaries and framework for the FMECA
  • Practical execution of element of the FMECA using the NHC saturation dive system as subject
  • Compilation of the element of FMECA Report including criticality ranking
  • Review of FMECAs and lessons learnt

Entry Requirement

  •  Practical engineering, diving or ROV technical background
  • Be computer literate in MS Excel and Word

  • Candidates should attend the course with a laptop with both MS Word and MS Excel installed, and a power cable.

    NB This course is not suitable for candidates not having the above technical skills
