Operational Training
Whenever a ship gets equipped with new devices, it’s essential for crew members to learn the specifics of these devices. We often hear even the most experienced captains and navigational officers say they benefit from this type of training, as differences between brands, products and software cause every device to work differently. Our certified instructors offer you the latest tips and tricks on how to use our equipment that are often difficult to grasp with manuals only. Operational training can either take place (worldwide) aboard your ship or in one of our classrooms. This type of training is available to anyone who is interested.
