The first week is theoretical and concentrates on matters such as passage planning, full knowledge of the COLREGS, radar theory, ARPA theory, advanced radar plotting, and ECDIS. In the second week students are engaged in a series of exercises of mounting complexity in one of our radar simulators (Biot and Palma). They will be expected to improve their performance over the week.
