Description
This Personal Survival Techniques Updating eLearning course will prepare learners to take the essential actions necessary to abandon ship in a hurry. They will learn: how to survive in the water, how to use a life raft to escape from the vessel when it is too dangerous to remain on board, and how to attract the attention of rescuers from the survival craft.
This online course uses a range of high-quality images, videos and graphics to provide accurate and detailed representations of equipment and procedures. All modules contain interactive screens and knowledge checks to engage the learner throughout, and references to real-life case studies put the material into context.
