I never used an ECDIS in the past. After this course I am confident to use and rely on navigation information from ECDIS.

Jonathan Harlow

A lot of information covered in a relatively short period of time (5 days) for an advanced system. Good trainer.

Captain Mark Millward

A very good informative course presented very well by an experienced instructor. A lot of information to digest but will be very helpful when and if ECDIS is used on my next yacht.

Simon McClintock

Really enjoyed the course, learnt a lot. Thanks to the instructor for excellent course.

Leanna Welsh

Tougher than I expected, I’ve learned a lot!

Captain Peter Grounds

Thought provoking course that raised more questions, which is good. Left me feeling happier to experiment with our equipment onboard and thereby consolidate the use of that equipment as an increasingly vital piece of nav equipment.

Paul Stokes

Good facilities and location in relation to amenities. 5 days was an ideal time frame to conduct the course.

Captain S E Richard-Dit-Leschery

Most impressive and useful course. Good venue. Instructors were pleasant and able to get the best out of the whole course.

Stewart Williams

Well trained and helpful staff. Informative and friendly atmosphere.

Tim Johnson

Very good informative course. I learned a lot.

Kevin Simmons

Excellent course and I feel vital for any person involved in using or auditing ECDIS systems.

G Strangwood

A high quality course worthy of the time invested. It highlighted the good and bad of ECDIS. All bases are covered.

Carl Merry

Gloucester HarbourAn excellent course. Well presented and extremely thorough. Probably one of the more `demanding` courses I have attended.

David Allen

Very Good training in a convivial environment. Better value for money than (a maritime college mentioned). Knowledge imparted by trainer in time frame was outstanding.

Captain J Adeline

Would recommend this course for all at sea! It would certainly help the yachting fraternity to better understand the regulations and have due respect for the benefits of such a course. Well done!

F Rouio

GreenpeaceNice teacher, nice course. We had lots of fun and learnt lots.

Paul Armitage

Training conducted by trainers with intimate knowledge of system. Training aids excellent.

Captain N Doyle

I would recommend this course to my colleagues at DSCP Ltd and all Trinity House Deep Sea Pilots. A good mix of the technical and practical which has given me the tools to enable me to go onboard the next ECDIS equipped ship and obtain the information I require.

Tyson Marrs

SY AnastasiaI will recommend ECDIS Ltd to any one in my industry. Very Good.

Captain P Saklawski

Excellent course, giving a lot of very practical information. Really enjoyed doing this course.

Martin Haines

An excellent opportunity to learn about the technical developments with practical exercises. The trainers knowledge was first class. I left the sea in 1985 but continue to work in the industry. As a casualty investigator it was essential to know ECDIS and get to use the equipment.

Captain V Patrick

A well structured course, easily adapted to whatever level of experience you are at. Demystifies the black art comfortably.

A Sobiecki

Training performed in a very professional way. Very good equipment, good facilities, very professional staff. Training will have direct impact on the job on the vessel. Fully recommend this training to all deck officers in the company.

Bernardo Obando

The instruction technique is very good, making the course interesting and enjoyable. Very good course, I can now use ECDIS with confidence.

Phil Shayler

Excellent course, very intensive but well executed and presented. Equipment was user friendly and exercises clear to follow. Presentation and delivery was clear, friendly and a good mix of classroom theory and practicals. Level of knowledge gained in a week from a zero start in phenomenal. Enjoyable course.

Simon Parvin

Good course. Not scared of ECDIS anymore. Well worth coming.

John Moulds

Very Good. Much less boring than I thought.

Captain J Webster

The knowledge gained on this course will prove vital in meeting future navigational and technical challenges.

Stef Smith

Really good course, refreshing being on a course with experienced and knowledgeable instructors. Instructors obviously know what they are talking about and enjoy what they do. Five days sounds a lot but you do learn a lot which will definitely be used in your career.

Stewart Bell

An excellent course. Timetable was good with just the right mix of theory and practical. Very good value for money. I would recommend ECDIS Ltd to anybody who is taking the course.

Richard Blundell

A good mix of theory and practical training. I found it very informative. Useful on board.

David Shaw

Found the course informative and very relevant, found many things within the course that I didn’t know and are fairly basic and important. The course was structured well and unbiased showing both the flaws and Pros of each ECDIS system. I would thoroughly recommend the course.

Joe Taylor

Really good, I recommend it to anyone.

Stephen Tindale

The course was delivered in a very professional manner which made the difficult course content easy to understand. The trainers were very well prepared and were able to deliver the course very efficiently. I would recommend ECDIS Ltd without hesitation.

Krzysztof Sikorski

Perfect course for any Deck Officer, lots of information from the trainer. Equipment/Simulator is excellent. I will recommend for my friends/officers to go as quickly as possible.

Emili Trasmonte

GreenpeaceA very good experience, soundly conducted by the trainer.

James Lindley

Objectives outlined and subsequently met through development of basic knowledge and principles in order to give confidence with our ECDIS resources onboard.

Matthew Lynch

Excellent course, well instructed, properly thought out and structured to ensure adequate theory given prior to exercises, then meaningful practical exercises to build on theory and develop confidence in equipment. Arrived on day one a paper man and leave believing in ECDIS and confident in using ECDIS. Course pitched at ideal level to develop everyone to a good level of confidence. Most beneficial course for a long time.

James Harris

whitakers tankersExcellent course designed for the job. Would recommend this to going to a short college based course. I would advise coming on this course as there is a lot of people out there who think the ECS on their bridge is an ECDIS.

Alec Ambury

whitakers tankersExcellent 5 days – thank you. Happy to use ECDIS now. A 5 day course is essential training, very important.

Ian Odd

ExpedoA very good course. Well presented in an informal atmosphere. An excellent learning tool.

Christopher Land

The course was taught perfectly by the instructor, at the beginning he asked each of us our goals, and he helped each and every one of us achieve them. He kept it interesting and was able to answer all questions. I would highly recommend the course if it is taught by someone like the instructors at ECDIS Ltd.

Jitender K Seth

ExpedoWell organised and professionally presented with good knowledge skills of the presenter. Very happy to participate and learn from this course.

2nd Officer Todd Herman

I have been using ECDIS for the last two years. This course and the way it’s been taught has made me realise how much I didn’t know. I now feel much more confident in my abilities and I have more desire to add to these abilities and get stronger with practice on the system. I find it hard to believe that other schools offer this course in 3 days – there is a lot of information to be covered in such a short time.

I will highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn about ECDIS. The staff are fantastic; very friendly, a wealth of knowledge and able to answer every question.

Captain Harry Gale FNI

nautical-instituteThis course demonstrates the value of using the full 5 days (40 hours) recommended by the IMO. The amount of information to be absorbed is planned in logical sequence making it easier for the student to understand ECDIS use.
