Betreff: U.S. Navy Category B International Hydrographic Management and
Engineering Program (IHMEP)
Fellow CB Coordinators,
I want to bring a 2021 education opportunity to your attention and
request
dissemination within your respective regions.
The U.S. Navy offers an IHO IBSC/FIG accredited Category B course
entitled
“International Hydrographic Management and Engineering Program (IHMEP)”.
This program is held in person, at the Information Warfare Training
Group,
Gulfport, Mississippi USA, from February to August 2021. IHMEP is
available
to both military members and government civilians.
This is not a sponsored program - expenses are borne by participating
countries and each country’s cost is unique. IHMEP is open to non-IHO
Member States.
Program details and application instructions are included in the attached
brochure. Applications are being accepted now.
As always, feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any
questions.
Thank you and kind regards,
Matt
