What Samson Tiara does

PT Samson Tiara is an Indonesia-based safety and survival training services company founded in 1994 that delivers OPITO-certified and other internationally accredited safety programs to workers in hazardous industries. The company operates a one-hectare purpose-built training campus at the Krakatau Industrial Estate in Cilegon (opened November 2006) and a seaside facility at Villa Anyer Marina for offshore lifeboat and sea survival training, supported by a Jakarta headquarters at Cilandak. Its physical training infrastructure includes the only METS™ Model 30 Helicopter Underwater Escape Training simulator in Southeast Asia with a full range of helicopter exits (Sikorski 76, Puma, Bell 106/212/412, Dauphine), a wave pool with wave ball, 3-story smokehouse and ship mock-up for firefighting, davit-launched TEMPSC lifeboats, helideck training modules, confined-space rigs, and 6 air-conditioned classrooms. Samson Tiara became the first training provider in Indonesia to achieve OPITO international accreditation in April 2004 and holds additional certifications from Kemnaker, MIGAS, IADC WellSharp, IWCF, TEEX, and BNSP.

The company offers a 100+ course catalog spanning OPITO-certified offshore survival (BOSIET, T-BOSIET, HUET, FOET, H2S, CA-EBS, MEM-IR, OERTM), Samson Tiara-proprietary safety programs (basic firefighting, first aid, sea survival, confined space, fall protection), IADC and IWCF well control certifications, Aberdeen Drilling International technical drilling courses, TEEX-accredited emergency response, Kemnaker-certified Indonesian regulatory courses, and CAVU International human performance and safety leadership coaching. A growing eLearning library from RelyOn Digital (70+ OSHA and industry courses) and Atlas Knowledge (IMIST) supports blended delivery, reducing face-to-face time on courses such as BOSIET from three days to one day. The METS™ simulator is supplied, inspected, and re-certified every two years by Survival Systems Limited Canada, which also certifies Samson Tiara instructors.

Samson Tiara operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market targeting enterprise clients in offshore oil and gas (primary), maritime/shipping, construction, mining, aviation, and general hazardous industries, with individual self-service registration also available. Pricing is structured around all-inclusive residential packages at the Cilegon facility covering tuition, materials, equipment, meals, partner-hotel accommodation, and complimentary Jakarta-Cilegon transportation; on-site and mobile training is delivered at client locations across Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Distribution is reinforced by strategic partnerships with OPITO, RelyOn Nutec (a minority shareholder since 2010, when Falck acquired its stake), CAVU International, Survival Systems Limited, Aberdeen Drilling International, BP3IP (a 2024 strategic cooperation agreement for STCW courses), and ExxonMobil Cepu Limited. A Kalimantan training center opened in 2011 was closed in 2017 due to market conditions.
