Description
Who is the course for?
Maritime pilots, captains visiting ports where they do not require pilots or pilots are not available and other personnel in charge of close water navigation, manoeuvring or berthing a vessel.
Is previous experience required?
The course is tailored to maritime pilots' needs and therefore focuses on aspects relevant for pilotage and berthing. A Certificate of Competency (CoC) for navigational watchkeeping as well as experience with manoeuvring vessels is recommended.
How will the course benefit me?
By combining theoretical knowledge covering the ECDIS aspects most relevant to Maritime Pilots with hands-on experience and practical application on different ECDIS systems.
How will the course benefit my company?
By providing an increased familiarisation with the covered systems and creating a transferable skillset and mindset, helping the pilots to use all ECDIS models with confidence and increasing the navigational safety during their pilotage.
What standards are referenced in the course?
This course does not refer to specific legislation or standards.
Is there an assessment?
Once you have completed the first unit of the course, the assessment will be unlocked. You will be asked a series of questions to check your knowledge and understanding. These are based on the learning objectives for the course and have a pass mark of 70%.

ECDIS Proctoring
This course requires proctoring or supervisor authentication to verify your identity during the exam to comply with accreditation standards. It is important that you register before beginning the course in advance, to ensure a seamless experience and avoid any inconvenience.
To comply with accreditation standards, this course requires the completion of two critical steps once a learner has access: registration and webcam verification. Please follow the instructions below carefully to ensure successful course completion.
Delegates must submit a valid, ID document that states their nationality and a selfie during the registration process, as outlined in the course introduction. For more details, please refer to this link.
It’s important to register immediately before starting the course, as the third-party authenticator may take 24 to 48 hours to process your submission.
You may begin the training while awaiting confirmation, however, the exam will unlock only after 70% of the course content has been viewed and your ID verification is complete. This process ensures that your identity matches your webcam during the test. If your ID registration fails, you can log back into your account to resubmit. Please note that you will need to wait for processing times again.
The webcam must be enabled for the verification process to be completed.
Check Webcam Settings:
Computer Settings:
- Windows: Go to Settings > Privacy > Camera to allow app access.
- Mac: Navigate to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab to grant camera permissions to your browser or exam software.
Webcam Software:
Use the built-in camera app (search "Camera" on Windows or use "Photo Booth" on Mac) to check for hardware issues.
Important information
We strongly recommend that you proceed with the registration before starting the eLearning part of your course, as it takes up to 48 hours for the registration to be verified. If you complete the eLearning part before the proctoring registration process, your test will remain locked, and you will have to wait up to 48 hours for the registration to be completed.
Our Support Team will review and validate your identity to officially authenticate your course and your certificate will be issued within 1 business day.
