Bridge Procedures Course (BPC)

Course Description

This advanced course on bridge procedures is for companies who wish to use their own fleet procedures to develop their bridge teams beyond the current requirements.

We will put teams under controlled pressure ensuring that they have to revert to using the basics for navigation and working as an effective team. The course is tailored to suit individual company requirements for the specific team they wish to train, drawing from a modular list of simulator and/or lecture subjects.

Our aim is to cement already established bridge procedures within bridge team roles and introduce the use of ECDIS within them if required. Company procedures can be supplied to tailor course content.

Course Topics

  • Handovers
  • Responsibilities
  • Teamwork
  • Bridge Management
  • Route Planning
  • Emergency Procedures
  • Pilot Relationships

Teaching Methods

All our trainers are experienced navigators and will be drawing on experiences gained at sea to highlight important factors and to demonstrate effective processes in the classroom, then allowing for the processes to be developed in the Simulator. Candidates will at times be put under pressure within the controlled environment to utilise their newly developed skills.

Pre-Requisites

To have completed an approved (BTM) course and have an understanding of chart work and bridge team relationships.

Certificate

Trainees, who have successfully completed this course, will be issued with a Bridge Procedures Certificate.
