Overview 

The ECDIS Continuous Professional Development Log has been designed to support the mariner through every stage of their career at sea, providing a practical, career-spanning record of shore and onboard ECDIS training. Divided into three clear sections, the log offers space to detail records of continuous training, supplemented by two extensive sections containing question and answer aptitude tests for self-assessment.

The ECDIS Continuous Professional Development Log is a must-have for any mariner trained in the use of ECDIS. Designed to support every stage of a career at sea, the book provides a practical, career-spanning record of ECDIS training, both on and offshore.

Divided into three clear and easy to navigate sections, part one sets out tabulated records of experience and training at sea including CBT, practical and online tests, generic and type-specific training and advanced training. This section also supports and facilitates assessment to prove that the user is familiar with the onboard ECDIS system’s operation. Parts two and three contain materials to aid with self-assessment: supporting aptitude tests, in a concise question and answer format, including general ECDIS knowledge, legislation, performance standards, terms and symbols.
