Complimentary Manual with ECDIS Courses
Complimentary Manual with ECDIS Courses
A complimentary ECDIS Manual that retails at £350 + VAT is being offered to all attendees on any MCA approved IMO 1.27 Model ECDIS Course delivered by ECDIS Ltd, on all dates in August and November 2012. The ECDIS Manual written by Peter Thornton MBE is published by Witherby Seamanship. The course cost is still only £695 (+VAT) making this excellent value for money whilst stocks last.
The ECDIS Manual talks about the good, the bad and the ugly of ECDIS including case studies on ECDIS related incidents and sharing best practices. The ECDIS Manual also includes a volume dedicated to ECDIS references and a copy of all the symbols used in the S-52 presentation library allowing the mariner to obtain more information about charted symbols without having to access the internet or move the screen away from the current position. The ECDIS Manual is an excellent accompaniment to the IMO 1.27 Model Course.
Joe Sloly, Customer Development Manager, says,
“It is nice to be able to give something to the customer that is going to benefit everyone onboard ship and not just those who come through ECDIS Ltd’s doors. When problems arise on ship they can initially turn to the ECDIS Manual to seek generic advice followed by contacting one of our Trainers for more in depth advice as part of our ongoing customer support that is offered to every student we train.”
Mark Broster of ECDIS Ltd adds,
“We are very proud to offer our MCA courses, and every student goes away not only much more aware of the good and the bad of ECDIS, but also with an excellent book which we hope will go a long way in helping to increase the standard of electronic navigation world-wide – which is the aim for all of us in the ECDIS industry.”
