Participants

For participants, who hold a recognized Dynamic Positioning Operator (DPO) Certificate issued by The Nautical Institute (NI), but do not have the required 150 days DP Sea time to revalidate through the conventional route:

• The DP revalidation course may be completed up to 6 months before the revalidation date set by the NI and will be valid for a period of 12 months after.
• If the participant is completing the course for the first time, there is no minimum DP sea time requirement.
• If the participant is completing the course for a second or subsequent time, a minimum of 28 days of DP sea time will be required to revalidate. This DP time may be completed prior to or after the revalidation course.
• Where the participant subsequently revalidates by completion of the full sea time requirement of 150 DP sea time days the next revalidation may be undertaken as if for the first time.

Course Content

The course is conducted as classroom training, combining theoretical presentation and practical work/discussion with exercises in the simulator and through guidance documents. For practical capabilities and skills, exercises are performed in fully equipped DP simulators.

This course will fulfill the revalidation learning objectives as specified by The Nautical Institute. There is a practical and theoretical assessment conducted on this course.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy Requirements

To undertake this assessment, the participant requires the ability to read and interpret typical product specifications, job sheets, procedures, and safety information as provided to operators. Writing is required to the level of completing workplace forms, log, and reports.

Assessment & Competency Achievement

The assessment is conducted in English. 100% attendance and participation in the course is required. The NI theory assessment must be passed with 70% or higher. The practical training exercises are carried out on a Kongsberg Marine K-Pos DP training simulator and a Rolls Royce ICON2 simulator.

There will be a maximum of 2 trainees on each desk to give maximum hands-on training. Participants will be awarded a Certificate on successful completion
