| Two hours of clear and comprehensive crew training and familiarization in ten lessons. Lessons can be completed by the trainee in several sessions at his own pace. Audio speech for every topic and screen to enhance understanding of the lesson.
|

| A User friendly quiz (multiple choices) is provided at the end of each lesson for assessing the User’s understanding on the lessons The questions are drawn randomly from a database of questions and the multiple choices are shown in a random order so as to ensure knowledge competence of the user. Graphical representation of user’s knowledge assessment performance
