It is important that you gain full value from the course and reach a level of proficiency to operate
ECDIS. This is combined with your Generic ECDIS training and will continue once on board your
vessel

Where a tick has not been placed in one or more of the boxes this indicates a gap and the need
for further familiarisation, this can be gained from repeating various sections of the course,
through an available BSM MTC or through self-study.

You can also send an email to training@bs-shipmanagement.com which will alert us for future
training courses on this type of ECDIS.
