ARPA theory

About this activity This e-learning module will provide the basic theory of ARPA including a review of manual plotting principles and a list of the new navigational symbols that are to be used on all navigational displays installed on or after 1 July 2008 (ARPA, ECDIS, AIS). Since this module is not an ARPA simulator, it does not comply with the requirements set for ARPA training. However, after successful completion of this e-learning, it will refresh your ARPA knowledge or prepare you for the required simulator course complying with the IMO requirements for ARPA training and certification.
