Gateway to the DEJEPS (RNCP 38065)
THE DEJEPS Underwater Diving Activities (RNCP 38065) requires obtaining level 3 certification before accessing the training. It also requires... Prerequisite Testing (PTT). The holders GP N4 (Dive Leader Guide) are exempt from TEP according to the regulations in force. In other words: obtaining the N4 is the most robust and fastest way to access the DEJEPS, while also providing an initial level of supervision.
• Before the DEJEPS: aim for N4 to secure the TEP exemption and strengthen the management skills at sea.
• During/After: the N4 facilitates taking responsibility (guidance, safety) and understanding the DEJEPS units.
Reference: TEP/DEJEPS CREPS fact sheets (exemptions for GP/N4), RNCP fact sheet 38065.
