Hi, I just recently graduated and was hired on by Noble Drilling as a Third Mate Unlimited in the Gulf of Mexico. I’ve taken my DP Basic Course, but I need to take the Advanced Course in a few hitches from now. Does anyone know what Noble’s training policy is? Do they pay for the course? Do they pay you day rate to take the course? Thanks in advanced. ---
