NI DP Revalidation / Refresher and Competency Assessment Course

The Dynamic Positioning (DP) Revalidation Course offered by Lerus in Singapore serves as a pivotal opportunity for certified Dynamic Positioning Operators (DPOs) to revalidate their DP certificates, especially when they have not accumulated the required 150 DP sea time days or have not adhered to the NI CPD programme. This course is specifically designed for DPOs who have been previously certified by the Nautical Institute (NI) but find themselves unable to meet the sea time requirements due to various operational constraints. By participating in this course, DPOs can refresh their knowledge on DP operations, bridge teamwork, emergency DP resource management, and stay abreast of the latest industry guidelines. The course's flexibility allows it to substitute for the NI CPD programme under certain conditions, providing a valuable pathway for DPOs to maintain their certification and ensure their skills remain current in a rapidly evolving field.

The curriculum of the DP Revalidation Course is meticulously crafted to align with the recommendations of The International Maritime Organization (IMO) and The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA), incorporating a mix of theoretical sessions and practical exercises on state-of-the-art Kongsberg DP simulators. The course aims to update DPOs on the latest rules and regulations, sensor technologies, position references, and to provide insights into known DP incidents and the lessons learned from them. This comprehensive approach ensures that upon completion, participants not only have a deeper understanding of the latest developments within the DP domain but are also equipped to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions in the face of system failures. The course underscores the importance of continuous professional development, enabling DPOs to revalidate their certificates and reaffirm their commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficiency in dynamic positioning operations.

Addressing the stringent revalidation requirements for Dynamic Positioning Operators (DPOs), the DP Revalidation Course in Singapore, offered by Lerus, stands as a critical pathway for DPOs to maintain their certification in line with the Nautical Institute's standards. This course is particularly vital for those DPOs who find themselves unable to revalidate their DP certificates due to insufficient DP sea time. By enabling certified DPOs to revalidate without meeting the traditional sea time requirement, the course ensures that professionals can keep pace with the evolving standards of DP operations and technology. The curriculum, enriched with lessons from known DP incidents and hands-on training on Kongsberg simulators, is designed to make sure that DP operators remain at the forefront of safety and efficiency in DP class operations.

The course's comprehensive approach covers the spectrum of DP operations, from the basics to advanced DP training, ensuring that participants are well-versed in the latest DP class requirements and operational standards. By completing this course, DPOs can revalidate their certificates, reaffirming their expertise and commitment to the highest standards of dynamic positioning. The Lerus training centre, recognized by the Nautical Institute, provides an ideal environment for DPOs to refresh their knowledge and skills, particularly focusing on the practical aspects of DP operations presented at the DP centre where the revalidation course is completed. This opportunity to revalidate without the sea time requirement, coupled with the rigorous training and assessment, ensures that DPOs are adequately prepared to face the challenges of modern DP operations, thereby safeguarding their professional standing and the validity of their DP certificates.
