TACLOBAN CITY –
With the advent of modern technology, the National Maritime
Polytechnic (NMP) has rolled out a new mobile app entitled NMP App
which aimed to aid its stakeholders in verifying the authenticity of
NMP issued certificates.
Its dashboard displays the
options to verify the authenticity of a certificate by using the
Name and Birth Date of the trainee, Certificate Number and other
pertinent information.
The app also features a
side function which allows trainees to verify if they are already
enrolled in their preferred schedule for Professional Development
Courses (PDC), namely: Training Course for Instructors (IMO Model
Course 6.09), Assessment, Examination and Certification of Seafarers
(IMO Model Course 3.12), and Training Course for Simulator
Instructors (IMO Model Course 6.10).
“The app is very useful,
good, and convenient to all trainees of NMP”, said Mr. Donald A.
Cosep when asked for his feedback during the mobile app launching on
13 December 2019 at the NMP Training Building.
The mobile app is a free
service for NMP stakeholders with Android devices and gadgets. It is
available for download in Google Play Store.
Any misuse or manipulation
of the personal data provided in the search result will be subjected
to Republic Act 10173 otherwise known as the “Data Privacy Act (DPA)
of 2012”, its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), and other
relevant policies, including issuances of the National Privacy
Commission (NPC).
It is the policy of NMP to
respect and uphold the data privacy rights and to ensure that all
data collected from its trainees and other third party individuals
are processed pursuant to the general principles of transparency,
legitimate purpose, and proportionality as stated in the DPA.
The NMP app will be
updated should there a need to include other features.
