Course Description
The course has been designed for candidates who have completed ECDIS generic training and now require equipment specific training. It has been designed for officers in charge of a navigational watch and for experienced nautical officers and other persons with navigational responsibilities.
Teaching Methods
The course is split between presentations to familiarise the trainee with the menu structure and practical exercises on the actual ECDIS equipment to cement understanding. We hold a wide range of different manufacturer's equipment in our eNavigation Centre including:
- Transas Navi-Sailor 4000, JRC, OSI ECPINS, Kelvin Hughes Manta Digital, PC Maritime Navmaster, Simrad and Totem ECDIS.
Prerequisites
Those attending the course should have conducted a generic 5 day IMO 1.27 ECDIS course. They should have experience in performing chartwork and should be able to practice all usual tasks concerning standard navigational procedures and equipment. They should know about the functions and limitations of other navigational equipment. ECDIS is not aiming to teach trainees to navigate using ECDIS. It is teaching them to use ECDIS in order to navigate safely. Therefore, we require the trainee to have the basic navigation knowledge and that they understand what a navigation watch entails. We at Ecdis Ltd are of the opinion that traditional navigation techniques are still relevant in a digital world and as such we will teach the use of existing navigation skills on an ECDIS system.
Class Limitations
The maximum class size varies depending on the number of terminals available, but there will never be more than 12 students per instructor or more than two persons per ECDIS terminal.
Learner Conditions
ECDIS welcomes trainees that meet the entry criteria, regardless of background, culture or religion. We advocate that trainees with a variety of different backgrounds, experience, attitudes and values will enhance the course and allows the trainee to contribute to the learning experience. Trainees are therefore encouraged to arrive keen to learn and willing to offer their opinions and experience for the betterment of the course.
Trainers
All of our trainers are specialist navigators that are highly experienced in the practical use of ECDIS, having pushed such systems to their limits at sea. Combined, our trainers have taught over 1000 mariners.
