Welcome to the website where you can pass online the CES CBT CD-4076.11 test on the subject «Sperry ECDIS, Assessment». Practice like this will help you as a marine specialist improve your knowledge with the help of online studying and appraisal practice. CES based on practical information and marine specialists experience.
CES tests developed for evaluating seaman basic knowledge by Seagull Company (rebranded as «OTG»), is an evaluating online-tool, used for revealing any professional preparation needed in specific fields of knowledge, defined by STCW.
CES tests have proven themselves as good tools for the selection and recruitment process, as well as advancing the level of knowledge of the current officers and crew. Ocean Technologies Group use various subjects for question creation, which includes:
Crowd and Crisis Management;
Integrated Navigation System (INS);
Ballast water management;
Handling and Stowage;
Vessel operation management and safety;
Marine engineering;
Maintenance and repair, etc.
Current test contains Seagull CES questions on the subject «Sperry ECDIS, Assessment». Those questions can be used for competence verification specialist capable of preventing accidental situations related with transporting safety, or also for self-examination.
«Sperry ECDIS, Assessment» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on any type of vessel. The test is a subject that offers information designed for advanced training in the use of Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) for any type of vessel. This training is crucial for maritime professionals who need to navigate safely and efficiently using modern digital navigation systems. The curriculum covers the fundamental principles of ECDIS, including its role in providing real-time information about the vessel’s position and the surrounding environment. Trainees learn about the various functions and features of the Sperry ECDIS system, such as route planning, chart management and alarm settings. The importance of accurate data input and the impact of incorrect information on navigation safety are also emphasized. Additionally, the training includes practical sessions where trainees practice using the system in simulated navigation scenarios, allowing them to gain confidence and proficiency. The assessment component evaluates the trainees’ understanding of both the theoretical aspects and their practical skills in operating the Sperry ECDIS. This comprehensive training ensures that maritime professionals are well-prepared to use ECDIS effectively, enhancing the safety and efficiency of vessel operations.
On this site Crew Evaluation System Test on the subject «Sperry ECDIS, Assessment» contains 50 questions you need to answer with no possibility to go back to previous question. Therefore, we recommend carefully reading each question and making decision with no hurry. In case you have some difficulty answering, you have also possibility to request a hint.
