Electronic Navigation Systems (non STCW) Course

NON-STCW Electronic Navigation Systems (ENS) simulation courses

Course Description: Electronic Navigation Systems (ENS) is one of our simulation courses where we teach learners how to use Electronic Navigation Systems to navigate safely. We concentrate on collision avoidance in restricted visibility, making use of all available resources particularly radar equipment and radar plotting. We offer three levels in ENS namely: Management, Operational and Non STCW Level.

Duration: 5 Days

Entry Requirements: Mathematics at Grade 10 or previous ENS or any Certificate of Competence or proof of Chartwork completed.

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

Conduct a safe passage
Use of radar to maintain safety of navigation
Use of radar in SAR operations
Use of electronic navigation equipment
Use echo sounders
Use speed logs
Operate basic radar equipment
Obtain the ship’s position using satellite navigation equipment
Use the radar set as an aid to navigation
Use radar for collision avoidance
Knowledge and application of the International Regulations for the Prevention Of Collisions at Sea 1972
