Intelligent Ocean Ltd is pleased to offer three eLearning courses which can be started at any time.
First, we would like to announce the launch of an updated course: * BOEM/BSEE Protected Species Observer (PSO) eLearning Training Course for the U.S. Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico (GBP 200 per person) We also offer the following courses: * JNCC Marine Mammal Observer (MMO) eLearning Training Course (GBP 150 per person) * Passive Acoustic Monitoring and PAMGUARD Software eLearning Training Course (GBP 150 per person) The BOEM/BSEE PSO course is required for you to work as a Protected Species Observer (PSO) in the U.S. Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico and covers an in-depth explanation of mitigation principles and example mitigation measures for a range of project types (geophysical surveys, piling, explosives (introduction to the PROP program) and vessel strike avoidance). Additionally, there is an in-depth section on dredging operations and the role of the PSO for monitoring and collection of specific data and tissue sampling (aim as a pre-runner course to further specialised training). Further details can be found at this link https://www.intelligentocean.com/pso-elearning/ The Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) MMO registered course is required for you to work as a Marine Mammal Observer (MMO) in UK Continental Shelf waters during offshore projects such as seismic surveys, pile-driving and projects involving the use of explosives. This course has been approved by the JNCC as a valid alternative to the usual classroom taught course. Alternatively, project managers or interested parties may wish to complete this course for awareness of how MMOs work or for Continuous Professional Development (CPD). Further details can be found at this link <https://www.intelligentocean.com/jncc-mmo-elearning/> https://www.intelligentocean.com/jncc-mmo-elearning/ The Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) course is designed to introduce this technique of monitoring for marine mammals to MMOs, researchers, project managers or any other interested parties. It covers basic acoustic theory, the use of a spectrogram to view example marine mammal vocalisation types and other ocean noise, PAM equipment components, assembly and deployment and finally an exercise in configuring the industry standard PAM software - PAMGUARD. This course has received recognition as an accredited Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST). Further details can be found at this link <https://www.intelligentocean.com/pam-elearning/> https://www.intelligentocean.com/pam-elearning/ To complete the eLearning courses you simply log in, read, learn and then pass assessments based on the course content. You set the pace of your learning. You will have access to the course for 3 years with the option to renew after this for another 3 years for a small fee if you would like continuous access to the course material and any updates that may occur. The JNCC MMO and PAM courses usually take between 1 to 2 full days to complete. The BOEM/BSEE PSO course is a much more detailed and extensive course and will take 4 to 5 days to complete. Companies wishing to sign up members of their staff please email <mailto:supp...@intelligentocean.com> supp...@intelligentocean.com for registration and invoicing. Intelligent Ocean's staff have extensive experience of working offshore as MMOs and PAM operators in addition to marine mammal survey work and nature guiding. We have been offering training courses since 2009 and have trained over 2000 persons working in marine mammal mitigation.
