What will I learn?

The GMDSS Course provides targeted, practical training to prepare you for actual emergencies at sea. You'll learn the key functions of GMDSS equipment, procedures for DSC and Mayday voice communications, how to use Inmarsat-C and NAVTEX, coordinating with Maritime Rescue Coordination Centres (MRCC), and making decisions on scene. You'll practise managing power failures, checking redundancies, communications during abandonment and survival situations, and regulatory exercises to ensure quick, accurate, and compliant responses.
