How often do I need to renew my ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display) certification?

ECDIS certification does not have a mandatory renewal period specified by STCW. However, officers must demonstrate continued proficiency, and many companies require refresher training every 5 years alongside STCW certificate renewals. When transitioning to a different ECDIS system (e.g., from Furuno to JRC), type-specific training is required. We offer both generic ECDIS training and equipment-specific courses for all major manufacturers. Regular updates on software changes and new functionality are also available through our online platform. You could also go for a REFRESH online training course, to keep your skills updated.
