To do what ?

If you are not already certified as a CCR diver, then most agencies (i.e. IANTD, TDI, ANDI, IART, etc) offer a beginner-CCR-diver course (i.e. aka modular 1, or mod-1).

Prerequisites are minimum EANx for some agencies, or Advanced EANx for most.

The next few levels that follow like mod-2 onward prepare you for diving deeper using trimix and get into more decompression realm - just like OC.

The most important thing is to find yourself the best instructor on the rebreather you have chosen to buy. In the UK you are spoilt for choice. He will probably be able to offer you certification in more than one training agency. When people inspect your card, it's the name of the instructor they are most interested in, not the training agency.

Also depends on whether you want to dive within a BSAC club - only some agencies/courses are recognized for non-CE rebreathers. Details are on the BSAC website.
