In contrast to the ECDIS Ltd course, his lasted only three days and was taught on normal PCs using a legacy software version. Having been an instructor of different technologies in the past, I am sympathetic with the perceived requirement to 'cram' course content, but I would not have been half as confident operating these systems at sea after a three day course, as I am now.

This was best demonstrated in the final exercise on the integrated bridge simulator."

"ECDIS Limited (Fareham, UK) offers a five-day ECDIS Course, approved by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as meeting the requirements of the STCW '95 Regulations, and accredited by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) of the United Kingdom. As an 'old-school' navigator I've always been sceptical about the use of electronic navigation aids, opting to view them as simply reference tools. The hassle of interpolating numbers, which gave no visual representation as to where the vessel was actually located, also made the task quite mundane. And while impressed with the more recent and user-friendly Electronic Chart Systems, I still found them to be limiting in capability." (read more)

The knowledge and understanding of ECDIS that I have gained and the assurance that ECDIS Ltd are on the end of a phone line should I have any questions makes me confident that I will be able to provide assistance on ECDIS matters to Masters of our managed vessels."

It not only allowed me to utilise existing skills and transfer them to a digital system, but I now feel confident of using ECDIS to safely navigate when GPS is unavailable. I feel that I got the most out of the ECDIS system and have learnt a huge amount over 5 days.I would recommend the course to all who are seeking comprehensive training and value for money."
