The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Training Course is designed to equip maritime professionals with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in operating and maintaining GMDSS equipment. This course will provide participants with a solid foundation in understanding GMDSS regulations and procedures, enabling them to function effectively in emergency situations at sea.

During this intensive training program, participants will be introduced to the fundamental concepts and principles of GMDSS, including distress communication procedures, types of communication systems, and equipment requirements. The course will cover topics such as radio wave propagation, satellite communication, and the use of various communication devices, such as VHF radios, MF/HF radios, and Inmarsat systems.

Through a combination of theoretical lectures, practical demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, participants will gain practical experience in performing distress communications using GMDSS equipment. They will learn how to operate equipment safely, conduct radio checks, initiate emergency communications, and utilize search and rescue techniques.

Furthermore, this course will emphasize the importance of maintaining and testing GMDSS equipment to ensure its reliability and effectiveness in emergencies. Participants will learn how to inspect and troubleshoot various components, perform routine maintenance, and conduct regular checks. They will also be trained in the proper documentation of equipment tests and maintenance activities.

At the completion of the GMDSS Training Course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of the GMDSS framework and regulations, as well as the ability to operate GMDSS equipment efficiently and confidently. This training will enable them to play a crucial role in improving maritime safety, responding effectively to distress calls, and assisting in search and rescue operations.
