Training, Certification & Personnel Competence (TCPC)

Training & Education

IMCA's TCPC Committee co-ordinates general training issues for the association and monitors training developments within the individual divisions. Similarly, we have brought together information from across IMCA's divisions here as it relates to various training courses and issues.

Basic Safety Training

In June 2000, IMCA produced "Guidance for the initial & refresher familiarisation of vessel crews" (IMCA S&L 003), to set out aspects that should be covered in familiarisation training of all personnel when they board a vessel, covering both personnel new to a vessel (induction training) and refresher training for existing personnel.

IMCA has also now published "Guidance on basic safety training for non-marine personnel on specialist vessels" (IMCA SEL 007), to address the situation IMCA members have faced in a number of parts of the world, where sub-contractor personnel coming onto their vessels may have received no basic safety training.

Sector-Specific Training

IMCA's four technical divisions have produced a wealth of guidance, summarised in our TCPC publications section, relating to the specific training requirements for personnel working in each sector. Select from the links below for full information.
