Training Programs
At the Maritime Simulation and Resource Centre, every effort has been made to offer an environment conducive to learning and an exceptional professional development experience, including:
- flexible training schedules;
- a wide range of courses (basic, advanced and custom);
- four ultramodern interactive simulation labs;
- classrooms and debriefing rooms.
Book your seats early to ensure your dates are available. By combining two related courses back to back, you can save both time and money.
A minimum of 3 persons is required to book a training course and, unless stipulated otherwise, all courses begin at 8:30 a.m.
ECDIS E-NAVIGATION FOR PILOTS
Understand the navigational functions of ECDIS in order to direct the selection of, and assess, relevant information, including understanding the potential errors of displayed data and the common errors of interpretation

Post Panamax Vessels: New Challenges for Pilots
Analyze the challenges of post-Panamax vessels on pilotage: transits in confined waters, traffic management, vessel management, type and number of tugs required, restrictions related to channels and port infrastructure.

SEAiq Application for Pilots (also available online)
The course is designed to present and demonstrate the SEAiq Pilot application (SEAiq). The participants will go through the different functions of SEAiq, from basic to more advanced, in order to discover its proper use. Participants will also have the opportunity to discover the new S-102 feature for high density bathymetry with dynamic safety contour, jointly developed with the MSRC’s participation.

MSRC’s new online SEAiq training is just what we were hoping it to be. The content was on point and allowed us to follow along with the instructor on very similar units, effectively delivering the hands-on experience despite the online environment. The fact that the instructor is himself a pilot makes a huge difference as he understands and can relate to the day-to-day environment of a pilot.
The SEAiq software was completely new for some of us. But, thanks to this excellent training session, we have comfortably been using this software ever since. We are looking forward to other courses the MSRC is offering. -2024
