Dynamic Positioning Simulator Course (NI DP Advanced)

Enrolling in the dynamic positioning advanced course is a pivotal step for maritime professionals aiming to master the intricacies of offshore operations. This comprehensive dp advanced course not only delves deep into the nuances of dynamic positioning but also prepares participants for the esteemed dp advanced certificate. Holding the dp advanced certificate is a clear testament to one's expertise and commitment to the field. Therefore, for those seeking to stand out in the maritime industry, undertaking the dynamic positioning advanced course and securing the dp advanced certificate is an absolute must.

The Dynamic Positioning Advanced Simulator Course, recognized as "Phase C" in The Nautical Institute's DPO Training and Certification Scheme, is meticulously designed to equip maritime professionals with the advanced skills and knowledge required for proficient DP operations. Hosted in Turkey, this 5-day intensive training, primarily conducted on state-of-the-art Kongsberg DP simulators, offers a blend of theoretical sessions and practical exercises. These exercises are aimed at simulating realistic DP operations, including errors and faults, thus providing participants with the opportunity to practice all aspects of DP control, from the planning and conduct of typical operations to the management of redundant DP systems. This course serves as a critical step following the DP Induction Course, requiring participants to have completed the induction phase and accumulated a minimum of 60 days DP sea time as part of their progression in the dynamic positioning training scheme.

Throughout the DP Simulator Course, participants are engaged in a series of simulated DP operations that include risk assessment, preparation of contingency plans, and the application of position reference systems. This hands-on approach is designed to give participants the opportunity to undertake comprehensive DP operations, including the conduct of typical DP operations aboard DP vessels, under the guidance of experienced instructors. The course emphasizes the importance of understanding the practical operation of associated equipment, including sensors and thrusters, and the ability to respond effectively to foreseeable system failures. By the completion of the course, participants are expected to demonstrate a thorough knowledge of conducting DP operations, making them well-prepared for the challenges of real-world DP operations onboard offshore vessels.

The Dynamic Positioning Advanced Simulator Course is intended for deck officers and maritime school graduates who have successfully completed the DP Basic or Induction Course and are looking to advance their training in dynamic positioning. The course not only prepares participants for the projected DP operation scenarios but also equips them with the skills required for phase B of their training, including the preparation of plans for routine and emergency situations. Upon successful completion, participants are awarded certification, marking a significant milestone in their journey to becoming certified DPOs. This advanced training solution underscores Lerus Training's commitment to providing comprehensive dynamic positioning training solutions that meet the rigorous standards set by the Nautical Institute.
