This ECDIS Generic course is designed for officers in charge of a navigational watch, for experienced officers, and for those with navigational responsibilities. It is based on the Merchant Navy Training Board and IMO 1.27 Model Course syllabus. It is taught using our Transas & Raymarine simulators and is very hands-on.
The training aims to equip the student with the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to keep a safe navigational watch using electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS), interfaced with other onboard equipment to maintain safety of navigation.
The training is very practical, split between presentations to build foundation knowledge and many practical exercises on Transas Navi-Sailor 6000 ECDIS.
