Top Student of the Month is unique to ECDIS Ltd and has become quite an accolade, students and their managers often feel proud achieving the highest mark out of all students in that calendar month and to know that they have the highest calibre users of ECDIS in their fleet.

The award is sponsored by the Honourable Company of Master Mariners and the winner is announced at the end of every month in ECDIS Ltd’s newsletter and online at: www.ecdis.org/top-student-month/

The offer for the free ECDIS CPD Logbook is available to all students attending ANY of ECDIS Ltd’s ECDIS Courses including ECDIS Type Specific on any of the major manufacturers we have in-house and the 5 day ECDIS Generic booked between the dates mentioned.

The ECDIS Continuous Professional Development Log provides the professional deck officer with a practical, career-spanning record of shore and sea-going ECDIS training.

Mark Broster, MD at ECDIS Ltd said “It has become tradition and a badge of honour within ECDIS Ltd for our top students. Now we are about to reach an impressive milestone of 100 plaques on the wall it gives us an opportunity to look back and celebrate. The leather bound, filofax-feel of the ECDIS CPD Log is a useful means of maximising retention of knowledge.”

Robyn Harrigan, Training and Production Manager pointed out “We have been awarding Top Student of the Month since our first ECDIS Generic course. Seeing these wheels fill up and even having to mount the latest plaques on a new “ship’s plank” is astonishing. Now we can also feel, as instructors, with the ECDIS CPD Log offer the students will leave us with the right tools in hand to practise and keep familiarisation and competency levels high.”
