Introduction

This course provides a broad experiential introduction to maritime skills.

Candidates will explore a variety and range of knowledge enhancement of people working in the maritime sector.

There's an introduction to marine navigation, where candidates learn how to use a marine chart to plot position using standard marine instruments, and how to take account of the weather.

The safety aspects of any job in the maritime sector are tackled in the Unit Health and Safety in the Maritime Sector, including safe working practices on board a ship, life-saving principles, basic first aid, and basic fire safety. The Unit also covers the basic engineering involved with small boats, such as pumping and steering mechanisms reviewed and the routine care and maintenance of the engine and auxiliaries on a boat.

Training Objectives

At the end of this training program participants will learn:

  • The basics of navigation.
  • Navigation branches.
  • What are the direction measurements instruments, and speed measurements?
  • What are the depth measurement devices and their types and scope of work?
  • What are the electronic instruments that are used in navigation?
  • Plotting and positioning using different techniques.
  • Comprehend the health and safety measurements in ship operations.
  • The safe working practices on board the vessels
  • Basic Engineering and General Engineering Knowledge
  • Shipboard Equipment and Systems and Propulsion

Methodologies

Central to the Course is developing the competencies valued by employers in general and necessary for effective work in the maritime sector. These skills are embedded in the different Units, providing candidates with the opportunity to practice and develop these skills through practical and team-working activities in real or simulated working environments and investigations throughout the Course. Candidates will also evaluate their own skills, seeking feedback from others, identifying areas of improvement, taking account of feedback received, and reviewing their progress throughout the Course.
