For the offices of iPS including Nautech Services we have designed some shorts courses based on hydrographic survey project requirements.
The lecture was via Teams as via their office in Scheveningen divided over a few months (between the heavy work schedules).
The idea was to have a better understanding of projects and related survey equipment.
The discussions leads to a good understanding and we are pleased that the course was well received.

We lectured a more practical approach of hydrography for the new recruits for van Oord. Their background regarding hydrography varied, however they were very keen to know more about survey operations related to marine projects and the use of equipment. We were pleased to have our teacher John Loog ex Royal Dutch Navy – Hydrographic Department lecturing more in depth the theory for 5 full days at their office. We wish the new recruits all success in their future careers.

We are very pleased the FIG/IHO/ICA International Board on Standards of Competence for Hydrographic Surveyors and Nautical Cartographers (IBSC) was able to recognize our Programme at the Category "B" level.
The current 27th class is already following this modified curriculum. This means that the 27th class will receive their Certificate of Programme Completion immediately after successful completion of the 6 weeks in Ijmuiden, instead of having to do another 4 weeks Field Training Project.
