IMCA Key DP Personnel CPD

IMCA’s DP CPD is moving from EdApp to IMCA Skills, our new Learning hub, designed to make professional development simpler, richer and better value for users.

IMCA’s DP CPD will continue to be accredited by the Nautical Institute for DPO certificate revalidation, although registration will be directly through IMCA and not the NI's Alexis platform.

Following this service upgrade, access to EdApp, our current DP CPD app will be withdrawn and will no longer be available after the end of February. Details on how to access the new platform and all its improvements will follow soon.

Learners with modules which are underway can be assured that existing learning progress and completed modules will be safely transferred over, and they will be able to pick up where they left off on our new platform.

Learn more about the migration and answer all your questions with our FAQ.

IMCA's DP CPD is the most convenient and cost-effective way to meet recently introduced requirements from the Nautical Institute.

It enables Dynamic Positioning (DP) Operators to maintain their knowledge and understanding of the latest recommended best practice with our convenient tool available across a variety of devices – phone, tablet, or computer.

I like how the sections are broken up. Shorter lessons make it easier to digest the information and complete on my own timeline.

User, IMCA Key DP Personnel CPD

I thought all content was relevant to furthering my understanding of DP and [Nautical Institute] requirements.

User, IMCA Key DP Personnel CPD

Good alternative instead of taking a refresher course during leave period to maintain the certificate. Well explained and made to be taken at your own convenient time. Appreciated!

User, IMCA Key DP Personnel CPD

The course is interactive, it makes you more interested in the information shared.

User, IMCA Key DP Personnel CPD

After a long time doing this job, we get so caught up in the small details of everyday operations that it is good to force ourselves to look back on some of the governing procedures and IMCA best-practices.
