“When the courses first started they were largely about how to use the eCMID database. Now they cover legislation, expectations, code of conduct, and importantly they provide a networking opportunity as well as use of the database.”
IIMS works with applicants to ensure that their applications fit the bill, and suggest work on certain aspects, or attendance at specific courses before the application goes to an assessor. They also
step in with suggestions if they feel a prospective or accepted AVI would benefit from mentoring or shadowing. “We want to feel that all AVIs are inspectors who anyone would be pleased to have on their vessel,” says Hilary Excell.
The very first CMID AVI Conference has recently been announced too. The CMID Accredited Vessel Inspectors One Day Conference will take place in Amsterdam at the Novotel Amsterdam Airport
Schiphol Hotel, Netherlands on Tuesday 25 April 2017. A number of speakers have been confirmed including Mike Schwarz, IIMS CEO, Chris Baldwin, IMCA Technical Adviser, Ian Coates, Lead Trainer, Nicki Cranch, Senior Marine Technical Advisor at BP and experts Ursula Smith, Jan Sloth Moller, Sujit Viswananthan and Anders Boman, who will each talk about specific categories within the CMID inspection process.
