If you are on the New Offshore Scheme, you will hold a thick grey A5 logbook.
Please note that the time for completing the initial training has been increased from four years to five years.
We are currently in the process of updating our guidance documents but please note that the downloadable guide on this page may still refer to the four year rule and is awaiting a new version.
Many applications for DP certificates are unsuccessful because the online application has not been completed, logbooks are completed incorrectly or incorrect documentation has been provided. Follow the relevant Logbook Guide to ensure that your logbook can be processed quickly and your certificate issued as soon as possible.
The online application must be completed before any documents are sent into The Nautical Institute's offices. Please read the correct Online Application Guide for the scheme you are on.
Once the online application has been completed, please post/courier your logbook, signed PDF Checklist, original signed and stamped confirmation letters for ALL DP sea time and any other supporting documents to:
