Revalidation - External Assessors only
To renew your Navigation Assessors (Part B) certificate you must have:
- Completed at least 2 navigation assessments within the past 12 months
And/or
- Completed at least 5 navigation assessments within the last 24 months
Due to the current climate The Nautical Institute understands that the above criteria might be difficult to achieve and getting on-board to carry out an assessment might not always be possible.
The Nautical Institute therefore will, give a six month extension to the validity of the Part B qualification to carry out a physical assessment. Where assessors have not been able to carry out physical assessments but would like to submit remote assessments, The Nautical Institute will, in exceptional circumstances, accept one remote assessment. This assessment must have been carried out within the last 12 months and be accompanied by;
- A company letter confirming the inability to get on-board a vessel.
- A physical navigation assessment carried out within the past 36 months.
In lieu of the above, The Nautical Institute advises candidates to apply for and complete the Navigation Assessors refresher session. Please contact us for details on the Navigation Assessors Refresher Session.
NB: Please note that the above is a guide, The Nautical Institute considers all applications for renewals on a case by case basis.
