The acronym T-BOSIET stands for Tropical Basic Offshore Safety Induction & Emergency Training. The addition “tropical” is what sets this certificate apart from the regular BOSIET. Working in the tropics brings specific challenges when it comes to risk assessment and handling. This course equips personnel to handle risk in tropical regions of the world.

My validity of T-BOSIET is expiry soon! What to do?
If your certificate validity is going to expire, you should take refresher course or called as Tropical Further Offshore Emergency Training (T-FOET) to extend the validity. The duration for T-FOET is only 1-day.
However, should the certificate expired, you will need to retake T-BOSIET, the 3-days course.
-----
What is the difference between T-BOSIET and BOSIET?
T-BOSIET is for warm waters / tropical countries whilst BOSIET covers the validity for both warm and cold waters.
But, if you only working in tropical region, then T-BOSIET will be sufficient for you.
-----
If I have BOSIET certificate, could I take T-FOET?
Yes, sure. And vice versa. If you have T-BOSIET, you may take FOET certification too.
