AIN – Advanced Training
Advanced Integrative Navigation (AIN) is a unique and customizable 4-day course designed for mariners holding an ECDIS certificate but seeking more practice. AIN is not an STCW course and is not required by any authority. AIN picks up where the ECDIS course leaves off. Simulator practice focuses on blended skills of navigational decision making in a paperless environment.
ECDIS is applied as an essential tool in support of concise communications, close-quarters maneuvering, confined waters, potential faults, and environmental challenges. The AIN course is built around pairs of watchstanders as mini-bridge teams; all teams and their vessles are placed in the same scenario. Bridge resource management works as a through line in each scenario to emphasize the importance of having skills in using the language of ECDIS.
