ECDIS CPD

ECDIS CPD

A personal record of qualifications, service and training including preparation for ECDIS exams and assessments.

This book is designed to mentor, train and test the seafarer on all ECDIS aspects from basic safety knowledge to an expert level. It is an ideal solution to log your journey, career development and experience as digital navigation continues to evolve. This record book supersedes ‘ECDIS Record of Training and Familiarisation’ (2016) and ‘ECDIS Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Log’ (2014).

Career progression is at the heart of all professional seafarers. We strive to be the very best. Technology is not slowing down, and since the first generation of ECDIS in the 1977 we have seen a dramatic increase in equipment performance and capability. We are now at the fifth generation of ECDIS with S-100 a reality, not a future dream. The challenge is to remain the master of the equipment and not allow it to drive our standards. To do this, we must understand every element of how it works. Any seafarer using ECDIS, from a newly qualified OOW to an experienced Master, needs to keep up with this evolution. Continual professional development allows the seafarer to build on their foundation knowledge and remain at the top of their game.
