Accreditation Standard

The Nautical Institute defines accreditation as the systematic verification of a maritime training product or service against specific standards. The Nautical Institute develops and approves these standards in collaboration with industry stakeholders.

Accredited training providers have demonstrated that their products or services meet the rigorous requirements set by The Nautical Institute.

This accreditation is valid for a period of no more than three years.

Training centres must formally apply to The Nautical Institute to offer DP courses. The Institute then conducts an audit to assess the courses delivered by the provider, ensuring they meet the standards defined by the DPTEG (Dynamic Positioning Training and Executive Group), which are outlined in this document.

The DP training standard has been divided into two volumes: Volume One focuses on requirements for DPOs, trainee DPOs, and course materials. Volume Two provides further information for training centres, including simulator specifications.
