Captain Nicholas Doyle
Equipment used and demonstrated benefited, as the same as what is carried onboard.
Tomasz Czarniecki
Very helpful trainers and would be more than happy to work with them again. Good facilities (tea, coffee, spring water, sweets, etc).
Charles Ashby
I was surprised at both the thoroughness and detail of the course. Impossible to achieve on a 3 day course. Worthwhile with helpful and enthusiastic tutors who know their subject.
Zbigniew Stypuła
Course was very well-prepared and trainers were very helpful. I’m glad that I have done the course; we don’t have ECDIS on my vessel but now I’m not afraid of joining vessels equipped with it.
Adrian Whiting
A comprehensive and thought-out course on the use of Transas ECDIS equipment.
Hettie Geenen
I liked the tests in between. Also a good balance between information and practical.” I liked the tests in between. Also a good balance between information and practical.
Danielle McCarthy
[The instructor] is an excellent presenter with a very thorough knowledge of the ECDIS and all training materials.
Chief Officer Philip Carter
Training was very informative – emphasises the need to understand your equipment and its abilities. Very good course – will recommend it to the next person.
2nd Officer Ryan Lee
Well-structured, informative course. I now feel more confident in the use of ECDIS and the information which I have learnt will be of great help to me on the bridge.
Liz Donnelly
Delivered professionally and very informative. Practical aspects are very highly recommended. An asset to any organisation’s training development needs.
2nd Officer Martin Gowlett
The IMO 1.27 model course was excellent. Although I had experience with the equipment previously, I still found it extremely beneficial.
3rd Officer Robin Weary
A well prepared trainer. Course content was great. I felt that I have benefited from the course.
Grant Laversuch
I think the course was excellent and I would like to see all officers do this course regardless of what ECDIS training they have done before.
Will Mitchell
I have been given an excellent insight into ECDIS, which as a pilot I am sure will prove invaluable. I now know the dangers that may be lurking in a ship’s equipment which I am piloting.
Robert Filbrandt
Course was good and trainer was very knowledgeable. Nice clean location with good equipment. I learnt a lot whilst here and enjoyed the time spent on this course.
Michael DeKock
An excellent course that challenged myself and my team. Not only do I feel that we gained a huge amount of knowledge on our ECDIS but it also was a very valuable exercise in getting the team back into the safe navigation mindset prior to sailing in a few weeks. It was perfect that the course was taught by an experienced ECDIS officer who has sailed with the systems for many years. This is the exact training you need if you want learn about ECDIS, and I would recommend their training even if you have already completed an ECDIS course.
Lee Stevenson, Chief Officer
I spoke briefly to ECDIS Ltd on the phone, and a few emails later the instructor was booked to fly to the boat in New Zealand. We received both STCW and type specific certificates on board, in one go, allowing us to `go digital`. The course was tough, but very enjoyable. Booking the training was painless, simple and very good value for money. I would strongly recommend booking their mobile STCW and Type specific courses to train your team properly.
Captain Tony Shopland
An excellent course, well prepared and presented with all expected facilities.
Chief Officer Bernard Richardson
A very pleasant 5 days; very informative and enjoyable course. Many thanks to ECDIS Ltd!
John Clandillon-Baker FNI, Editor, The Pilot Magazine
A very comprehensive course which has given me the confidence to use shipboard ECDIS more.
Chief Officer Nick Riches
Excellent tutor. Very intensive course but also interesting and fulfilling.
Captain Jan E Christoffersen
Very good course, instructor and facility.
Jeff Miles
Pace, content and delivery of the course were excellent. I came away a much broader knowledge of ECDIS.
Hywel Pugh
Very good. Informative and improved my knowledge.
Svein Skjaeveland
This has been a valuable course for me in the sense of seeing the world of ECDIS and ENCs from a different angle than my everyday approach to the PRIMAR RENC does.
2nd Officer Bartlomiej Serocki
Course was good with all relevant information and legal aspects clearly passed.
1st Officer Jody Roderick
Good course; happy to recommend it. Actually enjoyed it and learnt some valuable tools.
John Appleby, DPA
Would use the course for training our would-be watch officers. Very satisfied and good value.
Joe Collins
A demanding but enjoyable course overall. No problem in recommending ECDIS Ltd.
James Clarke
Professional, informative and fun – excellent!
Stefan Naca
Good course, good value for money.
Bradley Tong
The five day, forty hour, generic ECDIS Course, run by ECDIS Ltd, was world class. I came away having a strong understanding of the goals as laid down by the IMO 1.27 model, professionally packaged and delivered by the team at ECDIS Ltd. In a maritime world of ever strengthening regulations this course will set you up with the perfect tools to navigate confidently and safely on a ECDIS system.
Captain W G Dickinson
I would certainly recommend this course to anyone who wants the best possible training and instruction in ECDIS.
Captain Michael Watson
The lessons learnt on this course have given me not only an insight into the operation of ECDIS equipment, but also a recognition of the legal aspects of the transitions from traditional paper chart-based navigation into the e-navigation era. This is an important aspect of the training and I strongly recommend that Captains and senior officers partake of the 5-day course to enhance their management skills.
