FAQ
Does this mean I don't need to attend any training workshops to be trained as an AP?
Yes, that is correct. The MPI AP sea container eLearning course is hosted online instead of in the classroom. It is the full course and has been approved by MPI. On successful completion of the eLearning course you can apply to be awarded your AP certification valid for 2 years. You do not need to complete the full classroom training as well.
If I successfully complete this MPI AP sea container eLearning course will I become an Accredited Person?
Yes, once you successfully complete the MPI AP sea container eLearning course you can apply to MPI to become an Accredited Person.
Do I need to complete the MPI AP sea container eLearning course offered by QCONZ to be able to complete the online refresher training offered by QCONZ?
No, you can mix and match training providers. You can complete an MPI AP sea container training classroom course offered by another training provider, and then choose to complete the MPI AP online refresher training offered by QCONZ, and be able to keep your AP status.
Can I use the 'AP resource Sea and Air containers' throughout this training?
Yes, we recommend you have this available while completing the online training – either an electronic version open or a printed copy by your side.
Once I sign up, how will I get access to the course?
After you sign-up you will receive a welcome email with a password and link to access the online course. This will be sent to the email address supplied on course registration. If you sign up over the weekend, you will receive this on the next business day.
