Overview
Marine engineers and ETOs must have a good understanding of automated systems in order to maintain them in an efficient and safe operational condition.
This training package will benefit:
- Management level marine engineers
- operational level marine engineers
- electricians with a lack of experience
- engineering cadets
- electrical engineering cadets
- anyone who is starting to work with switchgear starters.
