f Oil Pollution, Preparedness, Response and Cooperation
Model courses 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04: Introductory level and levels 1, 2 and 3
Abstract
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has developed the model courses on oil pollution preparedness, response and cooperation (OPRC) to provide guidance for preparedness and response to marine oil spills from ships.
The courses take into particular account the training needs of developing countries and include sufficient flexibility so that they may be easily tailored to address specific national and regional needs. Collectively, the suite of courses has been designed to address all aspects of oil spill planning, response and management. Each course comprises an instructor’s manual, a participant’s manual and PowerPoint presentations and exercises for each course module.
The contents of this course can be downloaded from the "Supplements" tab and include:
- OPRC Introductory Level (Model course 4.01);
- OPRC Level 1: First Responder (Model course 4.02);
- OPRC Level 2: Supervisor/On-Scene Commander (Model course 4.03);
- OPRC Level 3: Administrator and Senior Manager (Model course 4.04);
- A set of Supplementary material, comprising a video presentation, and a document with useful links.
