OSRL Training Courses

OSRL certified courses

The oil spill response landscape is ever-changing, and OSRL is the forerunner in providing new and essential preparedness and response training courses. OSRL-certified courses have been introduced to cover topics not currently included under the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation (OPRC) and, therefore, not OPEP or MCA certified.

An important part of our role is developing and providing current and relevant training courses to industry and beyond. OSRL-certified courses help enhance skills and impart knowledge to improve preparedness and response capability.

OSRL-certified training courses include:

  • Environmental Advisor
  • Oil Spill Awareness for Vessel Crews
  • Shoreline Clean-up Assessment Techniques (SCAT)
  • Oiled Wildlife Response for Decision Makers
  • OSRL Masterclass
