• Dynamic Positioning Basic (Induction) Course (200) 
Course covers the Principles of DP, Elements of the DP system, Practical operation of the DP system, Position reference systems, Environment sensors and ancillary equipment, Power generation, supply and propulsion, DP operations. Course duration is four days, or 28 hours.
Used extensively in the offshore industry, dynamic positioning equipment can be found onboard vessels requiring precise positioning such as drilling, cable and pipe laying, dive and ROV support and FPSO vessels and Jack-up Barges. Dynamic positioning equipment is also used extensively on vessels and units operating in deep water and areas of environmental sensitivity where traditional anchoring techniques are not possible.
