Course Description

Education;

June 4, 2004 the day and published in Official Gazette of Republic of Turkey Nr. 25482 "Radio Operator Qualifications and Examinations Regulation" shall be in accordance with Article 21, the existing curriculum.

Course Objectives

The objectives of this course;

International Maritime Organization (IMO) decisions, SOLAS / STCW and SAR Conventions, in accordance with GMDSS equipment on-site mission is to prepare candidates for officers to take part in the vessels.

In this context, students;

1 - GMDSS equipment and seaworthiness of ships for the equipping,

2 - Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), an on-site radio stations to use the terrestrial and the celestial sea communication system,

3 - Telecoms radio operators responsible for the application skills necessary to develop,

4 - Training as a result of the exams will actually trained as a radio operator certificate

Aimed to gain knowledge and skills in order to equip.
