    This publication identifies the course criteria for navigational aids and equipment simulator training and the learning objectives to be covered when designing training courses. It provides guidance on drawing up training plans, the equipment required for the course, simulator exercises to meet course objectives, assessment requirements, certification, and qualification of instructors and assessors. The specifications in this publication have been developed by the Merchant Navy Training Board (MNTB) in conjunction with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).

    Within training programmes, evidence of candidates’ competence in the safe use of shipboard navigational aids and equipment must be obtained from approved simulator training. The MNTB believes that this is best undertaken in conjunction with complementary training in navigation, human element, leadership and management, and the principles to be observed in keeping a safe navigational watch. The purpose of this publication is to guide those designing and delivering training programmes as to how this can be achieved.

    This publication covers:

    • NAEST Operational – to give candidates the essential education and training in the skills needed to keep a safe navigational watch and to use radar, Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA), Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), echo sounders, Bridge Navigation Watch Alarm Systems (BNWAS), voyage data recorders (VDRs) and other electronic aids to maintain safety of navigation
    • NAEST Management – to give candidates the essential education and training to maintain safe navigation using radar, Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA), Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS), Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), and modern navigation systems to assist command decision-making and the application of effective bridge resource management principles and procedures
    • ARPA – to give candidates the essential education and training in the fundamentals and operation of ARPA and in the interpretation, analysis and safe application of information obtained from ARPA
    • Small Ships Navigation and Radar – to give candidates the essential education and training needed to keep a safe navigational watch and to use radar, electronic charts, Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA) and other electronic aids to maintain safety of navigation in small vessels.
