SPC and FFA have been awarded certificates of accreditation from SPC's Education Quality and Assessment Programme (EQAP) for three PIRFO qualifications.  The accreditation of qualifications independently verifies that the standard of learning satisfies regional quality requirements and it meets the needs of industry. SPC and FFA welcome this recognition and encourage Maritime Colleges and other education institutes seeking to deliver the accredited PIRFO qualifications to apply to EQAP or their own education authority to become an approved provider.  Certified PIRFO Trainers are proud to deliver the Certificate III in PIRFO Observer Operations, the Certificate IV in Debriefer Operations (PIRFO) and the micro-qualification Level IV in Debriefer Mentor and Assessor.
