Dynamic positioning certification

IMCA has a strong track record of improving offshore safety. Our dynamic positioning (DP) accreditation programmes play a crucial role in this.

Our industry leading IMCA Key DP Personnel CPD scheme and our DP Trials & Assurance Practitioners programme enable candidates to demonstrate to the industry that they have the up-to-date skills, knowledge, and experience for these safety critical roles. Our Company DP Authority programme provides confidence for the industry in those they have hired.

IMCA DP practitioner certificates can be checked via our verification portal.
