Submarine Training

Providing submarine operator and maintainer training for the Royal Navy's Astute-Class submarines based at HM Naval Base Clyde.

Babcock International, as a sub-contractor of FAST Training Services Limited, is responsible for the long-term provision of submarine operator and maintainer training for the Royal Navy’s Astute-Class submarines based at HM Naval Base Clyde.

Through the development of an innovative ‘blended’ training solution Babcock has, in conjunction with our Royal Navy and industry partners, succeeded in developing a more efficient and cost-effective training process. New submariners now join their units with a far more advanced level of knowledge in less time than in previous classes of submarine.

Babcock also provide the next generation of state-of-the-art facility for Submarine Escape, Rescue, Abandonment and Survival (SMERAS) training at HM NAVAL Base Clyde, design the training solution and provide instructors if called for by the Royal Navy.

We are also engaged with customers at home and around the globe, seeking new opportunities with UK and internationally to provide new bespoke submarine training solutions.
