Our History
An Australian success story
Our business was founded 30+ years ago on the understanding that immersive, experiential learning results in greater competence and capability in emergency response and survival training.
Our Focus
Redefining how industries approach emergency response training
Our roots in the Oil & Gas sector have laid a strong foundation, but as we grow into complimentary sectors like mining - we continue to lead with the same commitment and expertise that have set us apart since 1994. Backed by our expanding presence in maritime, renewables, and defence, we deliver training that’s as dynamic and resilient as the industries we serve.
While safety remains at our core, our focus has evolved to meet the increasing demands of emergency response and sea survival. These critical skills are vital in high-risk environments, and our training programs are designed to prepare you for the unexpected - whether it’s at sea, on land, or in the air.
Industry expertise

Our purpose and values

We do this by delivering high-quality, experiential training that prepares you for the challenges of high-risk and remote workplaces. When you train with ERGT, you’re not just improving your skills - you’re joining a community that values safety, teamwork, and excellence.

Have Fun
We believe in bringing a sense of adventure to our courses. We deliver training that is engaging, creating a positive learning environment enhances retention and effectiveness.
Commit to the Tribe
In emergency response, teamwork is everything. We instil this mindset in all our training courses. We put the good of whole before serving our own interests; building trust and supporting each other so we can grow.
