Following the 2010 Manila amendments to the STCW Convention and Code, The NI has implemented the following
criteria for entry onto the DP Operators Training Scheme: The minimum qualification is set at STCW Regulation II/1 ‐
II/2 ‐ II/3 Deck, Regulation III/1 – III/2 – III/3 – III/6 Engine and Regulation III/6 for ETOs. Alternative appropriate marine
vocational qualifications (MVQs) will be considered on a case by case basis. The Nautical Institute defines a MVQ as a
non-STCW Certificate of Competency issued by a white list Maritime Administration for use in the administration’s local
waters only. If you are unsure about the eligibility of your license to enter onto the training scheme, it is advisable to
contact The NI for clarification before joining or starting the Induction course.
The Induction course involves both theory and practice on a simulated MT DP system and covers the
following topics:
Principles of DP
Elements of the DP system
Practical operation of the DP system
Position reference systems
Environment sensors and ancillary equipment
Power generation and supply and propulsion
DP operations, setup procedure
Planning using vessel and field info, contingency planning
Checklists, worksite approach, communication, hand over
ONLINE EXAMINATION
Every student is required to undertake an online assessment/exam at the training center after completing the Induction /
Basic course.
The exam is composed of multiple-choice questions and shall be completed in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Students who fail
the first attempt are allowed to have another two attempts within six months of the first attempt date; however, the
second attempt must be undertaken within 24 hours of the first attempt in the same training center where the first was
attempted. If the student fails these three initial attempts, he/she is required to repeat the Induction or Simulator course
respectively and undertake another exam.
On successful completion of both the Induction course and Induction online exam, the trainee DPO will be issued with a
NI DPO logbook in which the courses, DP sea time, tasks suitability statement are recorded.
