The SQA approved Level 3 Award in Maritime Studies: Use of Radar and Electronic Chart Systems for Code Vessels will assist in developing knowledge and skills in areas such as the operation of radar and non- electronic chart display and information systems (non-ECDIS) on code vessels.

In the Workboat Code Edition 2, in Annex 3 “the Manning of Small Vessels”, there are the following two sections:

Part 1 – 2.11 Radar Training – 2.5 days
In any vessel that carries radar, the Master and any member of the crew who is likely to use the radar is strongly recommended to undertake appropriate training e.g. the Small Ships Navigation and Radar Course, the MSQ unit ‘Use of Radar for Safe Navigation and Collision Avoidance on Domestic and Code Vessels’, or other course subsequently approved by the MCA. This strong recommendation becomes a requirement 3 years after the publication of this Code.

Part 2 – 2.13 Electronic Chart Plotters Training – 2.5 days
It is strongly recommended that training appropriate to the type of equipment on the vessel must be undertaken by the Master and any other crew member responsible for navigation. This strong recommendation becomes a requirement 3 years after publication of this code. Note: the MSQ unit ‘Operate non-ECDIS marine Electronic Chart Systems’, developed by the NWA has been approved by the MCA as meeting this requirement.
