ECDIS type training

The training consists of practical exercises on your own ECDIS.

The focus is on the usage of the equipment. There is plenty of room for questions and discussions. Fading knowledge will be refreshed and the latest developments will be presented.

This training meets the type specific familiarization requirements by STCW, ISM code, flag states and vetting.

There is no exam during this course. After completion of this course you get a “Type specific ECDIS” certificate for the make and model of the ECDIS used during the training.
