Study load: 5 hours70,-Ships & shipping
Ships and shipping e-learning is an internal training tool for non-technical employees in our offices and our partners’ offices.
The purpose of this e-learning is to make your office staff or new service coordinators familiar with the shipping industry.
When from a non-shipping background, having a job in the shipping industry can be challenging with new terms and equipment of which the new employee never heard of before.
In this e-learning they will start to understand about shipping in general, what types of equipment is found on a ship, type of ships and naming on board ships.
When the training is finished, the participant receives a (unofficial) certificate which can be used for your own HR purposes.

Study load: 16 hours250,-Network Fundamentals
Starting with the basics for Marine Electrical Engineers.
As modern vessels become increasingly connected and automated, understanding network infrastructure is no longer optional—it's essential.
This online training is designed specifically for electrical engineers in the marine industry, covering core networking concepts such as IP addressing, VLANs, routing, switching, and diagnostics with a focus on shipboard systems.By the end of this course, you will:
• Understand the basic building blocks of networks
• Know how devices find each other and communicate
• Be able to connect and service devices on a network
• Recognize common network problems and know how to solve themThe second part of this training covers Advanced Networking & Troubleshooting for Marine Electrical Engineers.
This advanced course equips marine electrical engineers with the skills to design, segment, and troubleshoot complex shipboard networks. Key topics include:• Subnetting & Subnet Masks: Deep dive into CIDR, VLSM, and IP planning for vessel systems
• VLANs & Logical Segmentation: Isolate systems like navigation, automation, and crew networks
• Layer 2 & Layer 3 Networking: Understand frames, packets, switching, routing, and ARP
• Routing & Gateways: Configure and troubleshoot static/dynamic routes and default gateways
• Advanced Troubleshooting: Use tools like Wireshark, SNMP, and switch diagnostics to resolve faults
• Marine Context Focus: Address EMI, redundancy, fault isolation, and real-world vessel challengesIdeal for ETOs and marine engineers seeking advanced competency in network servicing and reliability.
This online training is a generic training, followed by the online training Field buses and NMEA0183 over IP.
