A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Coastal navigation principles

Coastal navigation principles cover the methods and aids used by vessels to determine position, avoid hazards and safely traverse nearshore waters. Mastering these concepts—such as the use of lighthouses, buoys, radar, GPS and chart interpretation—is essential for the NUC CCMAS/ NBTE/ NCCE exams because they form the backbone of safe maritime operations.
