Update from MSA (Marine Surveying Academy)
The Marine Surveying Academy (MSA) is having to adapt normal working practices in light of the current situation with Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the effect it is having worldwide. We would like to reassure all of our communities that we are continuing with the operation of our business and services to the best of our ability in these challenging and rapidly changing times.
We can reassure you that appropriate contingency plans are in place allowing us to remain fully operational. Currently, we are developing training courses and webinars which will be delivered online via the ‘Zoom’ platform. This training will provide invaluable opportunities to gain mandatory CPD points, develop industry knowledge and update your current skill set.
For those AVIs approaching their 5-year accreditation expiry date we will be offering a revalidation programme, details of which will be released direct to relevant AVIs and published on the eCMID AVI website: www.ecmidvesselinspectors.com once available.
As new training and courses become available we will release details to the relevant communities.
We will endeavour to offer support and guidance where we can and would encourage you to use your communities proactively by networking and supporting each other and as always, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.
