32+ years of safety, survival and saving lives.
Our history, our ideals, our facilities, and our extensive global network of relationships.
From a single training pool to one of Indonesia's leading safety training providers.
Founded in 1994, Samson Tiara has been at the forefront of safety and survival training in Indonesia for 30 years. We specialise in providing a range of client-focused safety training services and products to the offshore oil & gas, maritime, underwater, construction, mining, aviation, and general hazardous industries.
Our journey began with the construction of the Helicopter Ditching training facility at Santa Fe Base, Merak, Banten. The facility was commissioned in July 1994, with the first classes held the following month.
In April 2004 we received official OPITO Accreditation for a variety of courses, making us the first training provider in Indonesia to achieve international recognition. OPITO training is internationally accepted and competence-based, with extensive hands-on practical exercises.
Today, we operate a flagship one-hectare training centre at the Krakatau Industrial Estate in Cilegon, plus a dedicated satellite facility in Anyer, and a corporate office at CIBIS Park in Jakarta.
