Electronic Navigation Systems – Operational Level – STCW A-II/1

Please note – Course changes
ENS is no longer covered as a 2-week course. Please visit the course covering RADAR and ARPA using the link below.

Historically the duration of ENS was 2 weeks covering Theory in week 1 and Simulation and plotting in week 2. Week 2 is now replaced by the RADAR and ARPA course. Week 1 is since January 2023 covered in our Chartwork Module 1 course as part of the subjects. Should you require ENS the correct courses would be to complete the RADAR and ARPA courses and the Subject – Chartwork Module 1.

Learning Objectives: The SAMSA matrix prescribes that the learner should have the following knowledge and practical skills at the end of the course:

• How to conduct a safe passage
• The use of radar to maintain safety of navigation
• The use of radar in SAR operations
• The use of radar in VTS Operations
• The use of electronic navigation equipment
• The use of echo sounders
• The use speed logs
• Operating basic radar equipment
• Obtaining the ship’s position using satellite navigation equipment
• The use the radar set as an aid to navigation
• The use of radar for collision avoidance
• The International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea 1972
• The use of Bridge Simulation adds realism to the course as all events take place in real time, but in the safety of a training environment.
