The program consists of two assessments taken within one 8-week window of your choosing. You take a baseline assessment immediately after enrollment. The online assessments are hosted by Cirrus which offers exceptional worldwide connectivity. The vast majority of our participants access their program while offshore.

Each assessment:

is differentiated for role and rank onboard. This means that a Master gets different question than the Chief Engineer and harder questions than a DPO. Choose your rank opposite - all are accredited
is unique, created randomly within subject matter groups, from a database of several hundred questions
directly linked to a line item in a published piece of industry regulation or guidance from then IMO, IMCA, and MTS.
takes about 60 minutes

You receive a detailed report and study guide and take some time to refresh your knowledge. We guide you to areas of strength and weakness so you do not waste time going over the things you already know well.

When you are ready you take an improvement assessment.

You may take as much or as little of your 8-week window to study as you like. Some candidates complete the program in a few days, others use all 8 weeks.

As long as you demonstrate an improvement in score you receive your NI certificate for the year.

We often get asked "how long will it take?". The educational answer is, of course, never stop learning. Indeed, the ISM answer is never stop challenging and learning. But seafarers are practical people; practical and busy people, so a practical answer is deserved.

The Nautical Institute's new CPD requirements in Annex K will negate the need for a full revalidation course every five years. The NI's standard for the revalidation course states 'not less than 34 hours'. Logic would then suggest that a NI approved CPD program should not be less that 34 hours spread over five years. This equates to not less than 7 hours a year. In Keelson's DP CPD program two online assessments are taken each lasting an hour. This leaves approximately not less than five hours of study every year.

But what to study in those five hours? Here's the clever bit! Because we start with a base line assessment you only need study the areas you got wrong. We normally set the DP CPD 'window' for eight weeks. You take the baseline assessment as soon as you are enrolled. Then you look at your report, see where you need to be reminded of things, engage with the learning materials, and then log back in to take another assessment to see how much you have improved. Job done!
