ECDIS Training for Maritime Pilots

The ECDIS Training for Maritime Pilots is a tailored course that addresses the particular needs of the Pilots while operating the ECDIS equipment.

The ECDIS Training for Maritime Pilots course is available for purchase here.

Pilots are in a different situation from ships' bridge crews when it comes to the operation of ECDIS. They do not manage the system files or input and update data. Therefore, not all subjects covered in the IMO Model Course and TST Course are directly relevant to a Pilot‘s job.
