Abstract

This article introduces an interactive multimedia application used for GMDSS training in the Romanian Maritime Training Centre - CERONAV by maritime/ river officers and cadets. The application actually covers the theoretical, introductory part as well as the assessment of theoretical knowledge as additional tool to the practical training in the simulator and demonstrates how an interactive platform supports the practical training to achieve the required competences for the radio operators’ job. The content of application could be very easily updated by instructors and trainees.

Highlights

Safety is one of the main concerns of the International Maritime Organization - IMO [1]
We cannot speak about complete removal of face-to-face training but probably the future will enforce a mixture of traditional methods, electronic ones and practical training
In the maritime sector IMO requires the acquisition of skills that can be achieved through specific training programmes, so we must shift from an educational system based on the accumulation of relevant knowledge to one based on competences

Summary

Introduction

Safety is one of the main concerns of the International Maritime Organization - IMO [1]. This involves, besides accumulation of theoretical knowledge, a combination with practical training on real or simulated equipments. In the context of competence based training, learning becomes a more individualized process, more personal oriented and self managed.
