Yes, but in order to revalidate your DPVM certificate you must have completed one of the listed options for revalidation shown below:
If you have between 30 -150 days sea time/DP activities- You must complete The NI DPVM Refresher and Competency Assessment Course.
If you have less than 30 days sea time/DP activities- You must complete The NI DPVM Revalidation Course.
If you have been engaged in an occupation The Nautical Institute considers as being equivalent to the sea service (i.e. DP lecturer/instructor, DP surveyor, DP consultant, DP auditor, DP superintendent, DP supervisor), revalidation of his/her DP certificate will require a minimum of 150 days in the activity claimed in the preceding 5 years.
NOTE: The NI Revalidation Course may be completed up to six months before the revalidation date set by the NI. The course will be valid for a period of 12 months only, in which time the DPVM must send in an application into the NI.
The entries to prove the DP occupation shall be made in an NI DPVM or IMCA logbook and signed by the accredited training centre (in the case of a DP lecturer), the vessel’s Operations Manager (in the case of a DP superintendent, DP consultant, or DP supervisor) where the person has performed the work/activity or by The Nautical Institute’s authorised person (in the case of a DP auditor).
All DP sea time to be used for revalidation must be logged in the NI logbook or IMCA logbook and the time signed off by the Chief Engineer.
