DP CPD Cirrus Finish Page

Welcome to Your HORNBECK sponsored DP CPD Program
Please read this guidance carefully before you begin the program. Instructions, test login and learning materials are accessed from this page

Keelson's DP CPD program is based on an Assessment for Learning methodology. It will satisfy your Nautical Institute DP CPD requirement for revalidation.

This is not a training program. We recognize that you are already professionals in your field. This is an opportunity to refresh and improve your DP knowledge. The assessments HARD, they are meant to be. It is the ONLY DP CPD program to be differentiated by role and rank. This means a Master/OIM will get harder questions than DPO and different questions than a Chief Engineer.

You will need a steady internet connection and time and space to complete the assessments which should take no longer than 90 minutes. Your assessments are hosted by Cirrus.

Hornbeck sets a window of 8 weeks in which to complete your program; always check your dates on your Cirrus dashboard. Extensions and re-enrollments cannot be granted

THE CPD PROGRAM

The program consists of two assessments, a baseline and an improvement. To receive your certificate you MUST improve your baseline score after a period of study. Additionally Hornbeck requires a minimum baseline score of 65% and a minimum improvement assessment score of 75%

BASELINE ASSESSMENT

You do not need to study for this baseline assessment, you just trust your training and experience.

In order to progress to the improvement assessment and get your Nautical Institute accredited DP CPD certificate for DPO / DPVM revalidation you MUST get a minimum of 65% on this baseline assessment.

You have three attempts to get the minimum score of 65% on your baseline assessment.

If your score is over 65% you can begin your learning towards DP mastery and then take your improvement assessment. If you do not score a minimum of 65% in your baseline assessment the system assumes you have had an internet drop out and allows you 4 extra attempts. Please ensure you have a reliable connection before trying again.

Once you have scored over 65% ignore the remaining BASELINE assessments in your dashboard unless you want extra practice!

YOU MUST LEAVE 48 HOURS BETWEEN YOUR BASELINE AND IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENTS. IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENTS TAKEN WITHIN 48 HOURS WILL NOT BE COUNTED

NOTE: TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT

YOU MUST LEAVE 48 HOURS BETWEEN YOUR BASELINE AND IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENTS. IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENTS TAKEN WITHIN 48 HOURS WILL NOT BE COUNTED

BEFORE you take the improvement assessment time to read the report from your baseline assessment and engage with the DP CPD Learning Material and documents from across the DP industry - you will find links and guidance below. When you are confident you can improve your score take your improvement assessment.

If your score from the improvement assessment is HIGHER than your baseline assessment score, then CONGRATULATIONS, you have IMPROVED and you have completed your DP CPD for this year. HORNBECK ALSO REQUIRES A MINIMUM FINAL SCORE OF 75% TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE PROGRAM

If your improvement assessment score does not exceed your baseline assessment score (i.e. you have not improved), don’t worry, you have FIVE attempts to improve your score until your CPD window closes. If you have not improved after 5 attempts contact us for next steps.

Do not attempt to register a new, lower baseline score, it will not count. If you take the improvement assessment first and then register a lower baseline assessment score we will take the FIRST ASSESSMENT you have taken as your baseline.
