Accreditation - DP Providers
A number of training centres are currently accredited for the conduct of courses within the requirements of The Nautical Institute scheme.

The accreditation of a training centre will address a number of areas in order to assess its suitability to conduct training to the standards of the scheme. The centre will need to show how it intends to conduct the training, together with the administration and record keeping. It must provide course structures covering each course conducted, together with schemes or work, lesson plans and other teaching materials.
