The course is based on the MNTB and IMO 1.27 Model Course and has been designed for officers in charge of a navigational watch, for experienced officers and other persons with navigational responsibilities.
The aims of the training are to equip the candidate with the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to keep a safe navigational watch using electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS), interfaced with other onboard equipment to maintain safety of navigation.
The ECDIS trainee should be able to:
- Operate the ECDIS equipment, use the navigational functions of ECDIS, select and assess all relevant information and take proper action in the case of a malfunction.
- State the potential errors of displayed data and the usual errors of interpretation.
- Explain why ECDIS should not be relied upon as the sole reliable aid to navigation.
On successful completion of the course, a candidate will have demonstrated the ability to:
- Use the Electronic Chart Display Information System (ECDIS) to maintain safety of navigation and explain the principles of operation of electronic chart systems.
- Use ECDIS as an integral part of effective bridge resource management, in open and confined waters, in planning and conducting a passage, in responding to navigational emergencies, and in manoeuvring the ship and maintaining a safe navigational watch.

Course Description
The Inspectors course is one of our most popular courses and has to date trained hundreds of Inspectors, Superintendents, Flag Authorities, and Auditors all over the World.
The course is designed for both Deck and Engineering Inspectors and gives the Inspector or Superintendent not only all the basic practical knowledge they need, but also all the key questions and answers they may need to ask a vessel when visiting.
The course is a hybrid of Q&A on all ECDIS systems, general ECDIS knowledge, practical’s on actual ECDIS equipment to familiarize the delegates with the key ECDIS systems they may face, but most importantly the course provides take away cards for the inspectors to use when at sea in the future. The 1.5 days are extremely intensive. They are delivered by Deck Officers that have conducted between them hundreds of Navigation Audits and Inspections. The instructors have vast experience both at sea and in teaching on most of the leading 36 manufacturers.
Course Aim
To gain significant experience in a very short period of time to allow a non-ECDIS expert to be able to conduct either an inspection of an ECDIS vessel, deliver an audit of an ECDIS vessel, or assess an ECDIS vessels ability to safely navigate.
Course Topics
- ECDIS VDR and playback
- Crew competency assessment
- Best practice for safe navigation using ECDIS
- Recommended Fleet Policy and Management
- Recommended Ship Policy and Management
- Future Developments and capabilities
Teaching Methods
The course uses banks of laptops with actual sea-going ECDIS systems for practical experience, a large number of handouts and ‘back pocket’ cards with both Q and A for the inspectors to take home, and periods of power point and forum sessions with current experts. Candidates will be at times put under pressure with large amounts of information being conveyed.

The course is based on the MNTB and IMO 1.27 Model Course and has been designed for officers in charge of a navigational watch, for experienced officers and other persons with navigational responsibilities.
The aims of the training are to equip the candidate with the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to keep a safe navigational watch using electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS), interfaced with other onboard equipment to maintain safety of navigation.
The ECDIS trainee should be able to:
- Operate the ECDIS equipment, use the navigational functions of ECDIS, select and assess all relevant information and take proper action in the case of a malfunction.
- State the potential errors of displayed data and the usual errors of interpretation.
- Explain why ECDIS should not be relied upon as the sole reliable aid to navigation.
On successful completion of the course, a candidate will have demonstrated the ability to:
- Use the Electronic Chart Display Information System (ECDIS) to maintain safety of navigation and explain the principles of operation of electronic chart systems.
- Use ECDIS as an integral part of effective bridge resource management, in open and confined waters, in planning and conducting a passage, in responding to navigational emergencies, and in manoeuvring the ship and maintaining a safe navigational watch.
Course Topics
- Concept and Capability
- Familiarisation
- Principal Types of Electronic Chart
- Legal Aspects
- ECDIS Data
- Presentation of Data
- Chart Updating
- Route Planning
