ECDIS Training
All bridge officers on vessels which have ECDIS as the primary means of navigation are required to complete two types of ECDIS training:
Generic ECDIS Training
Type-specific ECDIS Training
Generic ECDIS training is based on IMO Model Course 1.27 and approved by the relevant Maritime Administration. The recommended course length is 40 hours and is delivered by colleges, training centres or mobile training company.
Type-specific ECDIS training is given by the ECDIS manufacturer or his authorized representative.
We can assist shipowners with these training obligations by offering:
Type specific training in Navmaster ECDIS
We offer a computer-based training course which will enable our customers to comply with the STCW requirement that all watchkeeping officers must have type-specific training in the ECDIS they use. Please click here for a brochure.
