Marine Data Networks Training

1-Day Marine IP Data Networks Training

Want to get to grips with the fundamentals of onboard IP networks quickly?  Are you looking for a hands-on fundamentals and troubleshooting course, perhaps to compliment your Cisco studies?  Read on, as our latest training course might be just what you need!

Marine IP Networks and Cisco Training

This course helps crew understand the fundamental theory and tasks required to support IP networks in a marine environment. After getting to grips with basic theory, we move on to hands-on exercises including real-world scenarios. Everything from the in-room systems, configurations, documentation, presentation material and exercises are marine-specific.
As with our other courses, the initial focus is on delivering theory that is not brand-specific. However, we recognize the importance of hands-on training with the most common equipment. Therefore, all classroom hardware is Cisco. We structure the class with eventual student Cisco Certification in mind. Class numbers are kept deliberately small, never exceeding 8 students.

Improve support of all onboard systems which use IP networks

IP@SEA Feedback

This was a great course!  Jason has fantastic knowledge of the subject and relayed the information clearly and relevantly.  Good facilities and equipment also.

Scott's hospitality and the course's intellectual value, even over such a short course, was exemplary.  The knowledge I have gained will help me massively for years to come.  Jason's knowledge and experience is outstanding.

This was another highly recommended course from the team at Superyacht Electronics Academy.  I wish to have the opportunity to come back and attend future training courses.
