Hi phyt00,

How to work in Arab Saudi? I'm really keen to work there. Currently, I'm taking ndt course as below:

unfortunately, thing's are not brighter in Middle East now with the oil price drop. There is also flooding of certified people from India which is a lot cheaper although their work quality is very doubtful... :-(.
the best way to go Middle East is by building experience first, that way you can negotiate for much higher salary.

get a diving license, go for CSWIP 3.1U and become underwater inspector

I see.. Thank you zacx..

I will be undergo OJT this coming april. I had googling around and found some company like SGS, Velosi, OTI..

Any recommended NDT company?
