2. Demonstrate that they can use basic firefighting equipment effectively, and use self-rescue techniques in low visibility and completely obscured visibility situations e.g. smoke-filled areas. 
3. Demonstrate that they can perform basic first aid. 

ACHIEVEMENT OF CERTIFICATION:  

To achieve the Further Offshore Emergency Training (FOET) with Emergency Breathing System (EBS) certificate, the learner will need to complete the 3 mandatory units, Emergency First Aid, Fire Fighting & Self Rescue, Helicopter Safety & Escape.
