Systems Training Modules
Welcome to our Systems Training Programme designed to give you a comprehensive understanding and familiarisation of the systems on a boat and is a vital requirement in preventing accidents at sea. The Training Programme can be carried out at home and continued on an operational boat. It is essential for new crew members, those new to boating or who have recently bought or taken over a vessel. It can also be a refresher course for the more experienced boater. It is ideal for the new employee in a boatyard, or safety organisation.
Module Design
Modules are for you to work through from start to finish at home and in situ on a boat, where you can follow the mechanical sequences and flow of liquids particular to that system. We have designed modules around the individual requirements of the boater; for instance, if you are a yachtsman, rigging and keel systems. Fridge rooms and deck machinery for fishermen, Included in all cases are bilge pumps, anchoring, and safety systems.
Module Content
Training Programmes enable those aboard to check and follow systems on an operational boat which can be carried out at sea or alongside. Each module has a variety of boat systems, generally between 4 and 6. The modules, when complete, should be signed off by the Captain or person in charge of the boat.
Subscription
The Training Programme is available by subscription. There is a cost of £7.90 per month. Or a discounted annual payment of £79.00 covers all parts of the modules with a certificate on completion.
Systems knowledge
The Training Modules are to give you an insight into how boat systems work. It is of utmost importance on a seagoing vessel, particularly in an emergency or when a crew member is injured or lost overboard, especially when asked to operate an unfamiliar system in a crisis.
