The Officer of the Watch Navigation and Radar module is an advanced course in yacht navigation and it is not for beginners. Students must have taken and passed their RYA Yachtmaster Offshore before attending.
The course provides an STCW 95 ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aids) qualification. There are two parts to the course. Ten days of theory followed by five days of practical navigation in one of our radar simulators in Biot or Palma.
The first two weeks of theory start from where the RYA Yachtmaster leaves off. Students must be at Yachtmaster standard before attending, or they may find this week difficult. Several areas are examined which are not fully covered in the Yachtmaster programme, such as ARPA, chart correction, radar potting and more detailed understanding of electronic navaids. In the practical element there is much emphasis on the set up and correct operation of these navaids, good watch keeping procedures, radar plotting and radar navigation, practical rules of the road.
Assessment: Is continuous throughout the course, a 2 ˝ hour written exam and a practical assessment in the simulator.
