ECDIS Ltd have successfully gained accreditation from the
Nautical Institute for their Type Specific ECDIS training course.
The course, the first of its kind, is now available on a number of
different ECDIS systems including OSI, PC Maritime, Transas and
Kelvin Hughes with JRC, Simrad and Totem Plus coming soon. Courses
developed around the remaining leading ECDIS systems are planned
for the near future.
ECDIS Ltd training courses prepare the Mariner to use ECDIS
systems to navigate safely, ultimately helping to reduce ECDIS
related incidents and loss of life at sea. The Type Specific course
is one day (8 hours) and includes presentations and practical
exercises to ensure the trainee gets comprehensive training in the
subject matter whilst building upon knowledge gained during an IMO
1.27 model course.
Mark Broster, Managing Director of ECDIS Ltd says: "We have
responded to those mariners asking for more flexible and diverse
ECDIS training by providing both STCW 1.27 Generic, and Type
Specific training, as required by Flag and ISM respectively. ECDIS
Ltd is unique in its ability to deliver both certificates, every
day of every week, anywhere in the world. It takes time for our
experts to develop experienced ECDIS navigators delivering Type
Specific training on various systems each type approved course, but
with such courses now being delivered by ECDIS Ltd, companies can
plan for their necessary certification."
