The Nautical Institute has introduced an alternative route to certificate revalidation through the implementation of a DP Revalidation Course. This course may also be undertaken at any time by Dynamic Positioning Operators (DPOs) who wish to refresh and update their knowledge.<\/div>\n
Prior to course commencement, training centres shall advise candidates to confirm that they meet the DP sea time requirements in accordance with the minimum entry qualification requirements specified in this standard.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The DP Revalidation Course may be undertaken in the following circumstances:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. \n
    The DPO has accumulated less than 150 DP sea time days within the validity period of the DPO certificate.<\/div>\n
    Or<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    The DPO has accumulated a minimum 150 days of DP sea time within the validity period of the DP certificate but elects to complete the DP Revalidation Course in lieu of completing the continuing professional development (CPD) programme and the DP Revalidation online exam.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Note: Applications for certificate revalidation shall be submitted no later than three years after the expiry date of the DPO certificate<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Entry Requirements” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ body_font=”||||||||” body_font_size=”12px” body_line_height=”1.4em” tab_font=”|700|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    The minimum entry requirement is a DPO certificate issued by The Nautical Institute. The original DPO certificate should be presented at the training centre where the DP Revalidation Course is completed.<\/div>\n
    The DP Revalidation Course may be completed up to 12 months before the revalidation date set by The Nautical Institute. The course is valid for a period of 12 months only, during which time the DPO must submit an application for revalidation to The Nautical Institute.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    If the participant is completing the course for the first time, there is no minimum DP sea time requirement.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Where a participant is undertaking the DP Revalidation Course for a second or subsequent time, a minimum of 28 DP sea time days is required for revalidation. This sea time may be accrued either before or after completion of the DP Revalidation Course; however, the sea time must have been gained within the validity period of the certificate. If a participant subsequently revalidates by completing the full requirement of 150 DP sea time days, that participant can then take the DP Revalidation Course again without a DP sea time requirement.<\/div>\n
