GMDSS Radio Operator Training
GMDSS.COM offers a 70-hour GMDSS Radio Operator course that satisfies the training requirements found in Section A-IV/W of the Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Code. The STCW establishes international qualification standards for seafarers (e.g., master, officers, and watch personnel) aboard merchant ships at sea. Students successfully completing our course are eligible for an endorsement on their STCW Certificate as "Valid for service on vessels operating in the GMDSS system." In addition to meeting international and U.S. regulatory requirements, this course provides training to personnel who will operate radio equipment aboard vessels participating in the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System. This is effectively accomplished through a combination of classroom lectures, simulation, practical demonstrations, and hands-on exercises. Students learn the theory and underlying architecture behind each GMDSS subsystem and how to operate associated equipment in emergency and routine situations. Emphasis is placed on procedures to transmit a DISTRESS ALERT in time of emergency and other procedures to facilitate successful search and rescue operations at sea. Additional topics describe the routine use of GMDSS radio equipment to: receive Maritime Safety Information (MSI), communicate by Narrow Band Direct Printing (NBDP), and utilize INMARSAT satellite equipment.
