Credential Awarded

Certificate of Achievement

Prerequisites

DPO Certificate issued by the Nautical Institute (NI) that will expire with 12 months of the course end date or a DPO Certificate, issued by the NI, that has been expired for no more than 3 years.

NOTE:

If the participant is completing the course for the first time, there is no minimum DP sea time requirement. For those who utilized the DP Revalidation Course for the last revalidation of their DP certificate, and having less than 150 DP sea time days since the issue date of that certificate, a minimum of 28 DP sea time days is required for DP certificate revalidation. This sea time may be accrued either before or after completion of the DP Revalidation Course and is not a prerequisite for the course. It is the responsibility of the course participant to ensure that they have gained, within the validity period of their DP certificate, the minimum DP sea time as required by the NI.

This certificate will also include the Nautical Institute logo as well as a student number.
