Course Description
This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using oil spill management and response simulator.
The International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Cooperation, 1990 (OPRC) calls for the International Maritime Organization, along with relevant international and regional organisations, oil and shipping industries, to develop a comprehensive training programme in the field of oil pollution preparedness and response including the availability of expertise for the development and implementation of training programmes. In this regard, IMO decided to develop three model training courses aimed at the following:-
Level one: First Responders
Level two: Supervisors and On-Scene Commanders
Level three: Administrators and Senior Managers
This IMO Level 1 model course for operational staff – First Responders on Oil Spill Response and Preparedness – has been developed and designed to be conducted as an intensive, 3 day course with approximately half of the course time in the form of practical exercises. The course is divided into modules with corresponding exercises (class room, demonstrations or real life practice).

The course content is designed to be compatible with the IMO OPRC Model Training Course Level 1, for First Responders.
