OVERVIEW
EASY ECDIS TRAINING ONLINE
Navigational officers are frequently exposed to varying systems and equipment onboard the vessels they operate. This includes the ECDIS, which despite offering the same functionality, is operated surprisingly differently, based on its manufacturer. In turn, this creates a challenge and a potential risk to safe navigation of the vessel, should the officer be unfamiliar with the exact equipment model on board. The courses aim to famliarize the officer with the exact equipment type and ensures that they are confident in performing all ECDIS related tasks.
Manufacturer-approved training in Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) has been launched on TrainingPortal Offline – a unique solution that allows workers to undertake ECDIS e-learning on board during periods of limited or no internet connectivity. The addition of 13 ECDIS training courses to Trainingportal Offline provides shipping operators with a streamlined learning solution and gives seafarers access to approved training that matches the ECDIS model they currently use on board.
Manufacturer approved training from providers including ChartWord, Wärtsilä and NG Sperry Marine are among the courses that are now live on the platform.
