What is CA-EBS?

CA-EBS stands for Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System. It is the compressed-air emergency breathing equipment you carry on helicopter flights to and from an installation, and which must be usable if the helicopter ditches.

You learn to use it on a course with practical exercises in water. Before you can take part, a doctor must assess whether you are medically able to complete the training. That assessment is what is called fit to train.

The certificate is therefore a condition for the course, not for the work itself. Many operators and training centres ask for it before they enrol you.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost?

It is not in our online booking yet. Call +45 70 60 33 38 and we will give you the price straight away and find an appointment.

Is it the same as an OEUK Medical?

No. The OEUK Medical is the certificate for the work itself offshore. Fit to train for CA-EBS is about whether you can complete the training with the emergency breathing apparatus. Many people need both.

Can I do both on the same day?

Often yes. Mention it at booking so we set aside enough time.

Can my employer pay?

Yes. Give the company name and any PO number at booking and we invoice the company directly.
