Cloud-Based Simulator Courses
Theory & Practice Combined
Blending eLearning with cloud-based simulation courses bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
Fully online training - flexible, efficient & convenient
This dynamic combination enables organisations to prepare their workforce for real-world challenges with increased confidence. The eLearning can be completed anytime and anywhere, whether online or offline, and is accessible on PCs, laptops, tablets, or mobile devices. With no need to travel to a physical training center, you can complete the training at your own convenience, making it a highly accessible and efficient learning solution. The cloud-based simulator’s replicate a real simulator environment, providing an authentic and immersive experience where learners undertake exercises, culminating in a timed exam to assess their skills and knowledge. The simulator component requires internet connectivity and should be accessed on a laptop or a desktop, preferably with multiple screens. There is a maximum time limit for the simulator exercises, with a countdown running continuously from the start without any breaks.

Navigation - Remote & Cloud-Based Simulator Courses
For Deck Officers, 19 courses and 332 hours of maritime navigation operations and equipment training, suitable for all ship types.
Manufacturer-Approved ECDIS eLearning
Deck Officers are required to use varying systems and equipment onboard including the ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), which despite offering the same functionality, is operated differently, based on its manufacturer. In turn, this creates a challenge and a potential risk to safe navigation of the vessel, should the officer be unfamiliar with the exact equipment model on board. The Mintra courses cover 19 different ECDIS models from the most common equipment manufacturers.
ECDIS Type-Specific Structure
Each ECDIS Type-Specific course is broken down into 10 core modules with a recommended completion time of 16 hours.
Engineering - Cloud-Based Simulator Courses
A suite of 19 courses and 53 hours of maritime engineering and environmental training for a range of ranks, disciplines and suitable for all ship types. 12 courses, indicated with *, include environmental awareness topics to support corporate sustainability goals.
