This is a management level course that explores the principles of ship stability at a practical level. Emphasis is placed upon those aspects of the subject which can affect the work of a large yacht master.
The course aims to ensure an understanding of the principles rather than testing mathematical ability in their application. Nevertheless many of the principles will be illustrated by practical examples in the classroom and therefore a revision of basic algebra and trigonometry will benefit the student.
A good basic introduction to the subject is “Simple Ship Stability” by Alfred Carver, published by Fairplay Publications.
The full detailed syllabus can be found in MGN 195. This can be downloaded from the MCA website www.mcga.gov.uk
Pre-requisites: Students should study our prepared pre course study guide before attending which covers some of the basic maths skills that will be needed and introduces some key concepts of the course. This guide is available now from our office.
THE CERTIFICATE FROM THIS COURSE IS VALID FOR THREE YEARS FROM THE DATE OF PASSING THE EXAMINATION.
