Wannabee diver having a ‘try before you buy’ moment!

The Aptitude test is a two way process. Individuals have the opportunity to establish if commercial diving is the career for them, and that CDT is their training provider of choice.

CDT will not offer training to everyone. The quality of our programmes is directly affected by the quality of our intake. We aim to provide the most comprehensive training package at every level, for every student, and we will not train individuals simply because they can afford to pay the fees. Every graduate must have a high likelihood of passing our course and gaining worthwhile employment within the industry

CDT’s reputation is based upon the quality of our programmes, our facilities and our Instructors and Assessors.

Graduates of CDT programmes become valuable members of any diving contractor’s team, from the first day of employment.
