Independent study. xplor is not affiliated with the French maritime administration (DGAMPA), the ENSM or any préfecture maritime, is not an approved bateau-école or training centre, and awards no title, permit, certificate or endorsement. Only the RIF guichet unique or the competent DIRM can issue a visa de reconnaissance, a dispensation or a command attestation, and nothing here prepares you for, or counts towards, the jury national d'évaluation.
