IMO Model Training Course
on ORPC

This IMO Awareness Level 0 model training course is for those staff that are involved in marine, port and offshore operations  that may lead to a release of pollutants into the marine environment.  It has been developed and designed to be conducted as an intensive one day training course with a mixture of theory and table top exercises.

This PetroKnowledge training course will deal with some of the key elements of how oil behaves in the marine environment, the tools that can be utilized to mitigate the impacts of the pollution and the end points of a response. This training course is divided into modules which may be taught individually or in blocks, with corresponding exercises.a

All of the objectives are theory based and are knowledge objectives with table top exercises to test the theory element.

Each of the lessons in the training course has a clearly stated lesson objective, stating what the students will be able to do after each lesson. The Enabling Objectives (EOs) clearly state what the students can be expected to do during the lesson. All objectives are clearly verifiable with indicators.

This PetroKnowledge training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Office based Staff
• First Responders
• Environmental Mangers in Oil Terminal, Offshore Terminal and Ships

The selection of modules and their subject matter content in this training  course are designed to address the training needs of the target group. This means that the instructors - for each individual course – may have to define in some detail the specific training needs of the specific target group. The selection of relevant modules and exercises, their sequence and any additional supporting references and materials to fit the agreed needs of a target group will have to be determined by the instructors in close collaboration with the client and the host country organization.

A series of PowerPoint presentations have been prepared covering all the lesson modules which constitute the pedagogic component of the Level 0 training course.
