The DPVM scheme has been designed to endorse skills in the offshore vessel industry The NI sees this as equally vital to those practiced on the bridge by DPO deck officers. As such, The NI hopes the certificate will become an industry standard over time.
However, you should speak to your employer about whether to apply for a certificate or complete the DPVM course at this time. If they have any questions regarding the scheme they should be encouraged to contact the Qualifications team at dpvm@nautinst.org, or refer to our online guidance.
