GMDSS/ROC-MC - Global Maritime Distress Safety Systems

The Marine Training Centre is equipped with a Poseiden GMDSS Simulator with a 10-station training lab. The simulator features real-time, multifunction operation to represent actual shipboard operation. Students are required to conduct the same procedures as they would on the relevant real equipment with the same system abilities and limitations.

Courses run on a demand basis, 12 months a year and can be structured to fit student needs.

GMDSS

This 65-hour Industry Canada-approved course is designed to indoctrinate shipboard personnel in the operation of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) equipment through lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions. Laboratory equipment includes a complete, fully operational GMDSS suite. Course content is based upon IMO and FCC directives governing the implementation of GMDSS to improve safety at sea. GMDSS operator FCC certification will be offered at the conclusion of the course.

ROC-MC

This 24-hour Industry Canada-approved course will enable radio station personnel to efficiently utilize aspects of the GMDSS communications systems applicable to Sea Area A1 operations. This course adheres to the fundamental recommendations for training of maritime radio personnel as outlined in the Industry Canada RIC-25.
