AMSO Online Theory & Practical
AMSO Online uses a distance‑learning format designed to deliver the same level of expert instruction provided in the classroom. It offers a flexible option for participants who prefer or require remote training.
The AMSO Online Theory Course is intended primarily for participants who already hold a valid international certification, such as the JNCC MMO or GOM PSO certifications.
Participants who complete the online theory component receive a certificate confirming completion of the theoretical modules, along with digital access to all course materials.
The online theory programme is delivered over two days and covers all theoretical elements of the AMSO curriculum.
In addition to the theory component, participants may complete the Online.
Practical Programme, a one‑day module that includes:
• Six instructional training videos
• A structured practical‑skills quiz
• Assessment of core observer competencies
Please note that AMSO Online (Theory + Online Practical) is not a CPD course. Completion of a practical session—either in person or through the online practical programme—is required to obtain the full AMSO Certification. Completion of the AMSO Online Theory Course alone does not qualify a trainee to work as an MMRO/MMO/MSO/PSO.
The in‑person practical session may be completed within one year of finishing the AMSO Online Theory Course and can be undertaken in Abu Dhabi or Oman.
