ECDIS Training Assessment (ETA)
Discover our Get SET! ECDIS Training Assessment Video
Watch to understand more about how our ETA tool can support members, by enhancing crew members’ professional development by improving their ECDIS skills.
Why members need ETA
ETA provides members with a range of features and benefits.
While we’re always here to support and guide members if they need us, we also appreciate they want to be self-sufficient wherever they can. As part of our commitment to exceptional innovation and service, we give members the practical tools and resources they need to protect themselves, their crew and their property from the risks that are part and parcel of every voyage and operation.
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Simple, easy-to-use online platform | Comprehensive training helps to reduce errors, prevent accidents and minimise risk |
| 24/7/365 access from any device, including smartphones and tablets | For the first time, members can proactively evaluate watchkeeping officers’ ECDIS skills across their entire fleet and identify areas of potential weakness requiring action |
| The assessment is free to members and their crew, no matter how many times it’s used or by how many people | Members can use the assessment multiple times to track individual or collective progress and the effectiveness of training campaigns |
