Looking for teambuilding or corporate hospitality with a difference? Why not give your clients a unique and exciting experience at HOTA’s purpose built Survival Training Centre. Strap your team into the Helicopter Underwater Escape Trainer also known as the “Dunker” and let them be submerged in the 4.5m deep training pool or how do you feel about training your staff as a team to launch and operate a ships lifeboat. The contents and length for the day is entirely up to the client but for example we can offer either a half day or full day teambuilding consisting of: Half Day Course: Managing a traditional maritime rowing boat Communication – the traditional maritime rowing orders are used to ensure that the team understands one another. Team members will take turns to receive and give orders during the practical exercises. Practical Team Work – acting as part four person team rowing the boat to maintain a common rhythm, moving the boat in a straight line and in turning manoeuvres. Acting as coxswain giving orders to the rowers to ensure that man oeuvres can be carried out. Rescue – using learned team maneuvering skills to recover a dummy from the water. Relation of skills learned and practiced to their own workplace. Full Day Course: All the above plus: Act as a team to launch, recover and man oeuvre a modern ship’s lifeboat. Maneuvering is carried out under power! Sounds easy but is it? The courses are run by highly competent and experienced instructors with maritime backgrounds to really test the team. A great day out in fresh air and a different environment!
