Description

In the wake of the 2010 Manila amendments to the STCW Convention and Code, Ocean Technologies Group (powered by Videotel) in conjunction with The Dynamic Positioning Centre, present this Dynamic Positioning (DP) Basic Training course.

This introductory level course is recommended to those requiring a basic knowledge of the principles and practices of DP and offshore operations, regardless of position or rank. The course is based on the underpinning knowledge elements of The Nautical Institute's Dynamic Positioning Induction course.

On completion of this course you will receive a Certificate of Completion from Ocean Technologies Group powered by Marlins, Seagull and Videotel.

Please note:  The assessment part of this course must be completed onboard ship or onshore in the offices of a registered shipping company or maritime institution. The Master/senior officer onboard or a senior official onshore must sign and stamp your application form to verify they have directly supervised your eLearning assessment(s). For Flag approved courses, please refer to the 'approvals' section below for further information.
