This course applies to the following candidates:

  • Direct Entry Candidates holding a valid TCMSS letter of equivalency who require the SIM 1 or SIM 2 exam as part of the approval process for a Canadian Certificate of Competency.
  • Candidates who have successfully completed the approved SEN training but have not completed the SIM exam.

This training will familiarize students with the KSIM software prior to their exam, as well as refresh students on the skills required to pass the exam.  For the SIM1 exam challenge, candidates will have three days to practice radar plotting and watchkeeping practices prior to the exam on day four.  For the SIM2 exam challenge, candidates will complete a detailed passage plan prior to the start of the course, then will have three days to practice.  The TC examiner will review the passage plan on day four, then the SIM2 exam will be conducted on day five (pending approval of the passage plan).

Candidates who are unsuccessful in challenging the SIM examination will be required to complete the SEN training course in full.
