Marine Satellite Communications and TV Training
Marine VSAT and TVRO Training Course
Our 1-day marine satellite communications systems training is ideal for crew of all vessels and installations. We deliver an overview of common tasks and knowledge, together with common equipment familiarization.
Marine Satellite Communications Fundamentals
The course starts by covering basic principles of traditional VSAT and TVRO satellite communication systems at sea. This includes covering GEO satellite orbits, how pointing angles to chosen satellites are calculated.
We then include a full , frequencies, transmit/receive paths, balance, stabilisation, tracking and blockage zones.
A full overview of 3-axis marine stabilised antenna system hardware is shown on real-life antennas in our classroom. We will cover LNBs, reflectors, motors, BUCs, weights, belts and much more! You’ll quickly also learn about the processes of balance, stabilisation, tracking and blockage zones.
Emerging LEO Technologies – Starlink, OneWeb, etc.
This is a satellite communications course and we cannot ignore the emergence of LEO (Low Earth Orbit) services such as Starlink and OneWeb. We will cover the theory and equipment, leaving students confident in this additional option that many vessels now choose to have in their connectivity suite.
Student Suitability for Training
This class is mainly intended for both technical and non-technical crew who want a short introduction to how the technologies work and what they are capable of, rather than an in-depth operator or technician training. If this is you, you’re going to learn a LOT in a very short space of time!

SEACertify is changing the way we schedule and deliver our courses. As a result we will be not be publishing any further course dates for the remainder of 2025.
However, we may still run a limited amount of courses subject to demand. To express your interest, please contact us stating your desired courses and available date range. We are also still able to do bespoke group training sessions on a date that suits you.
Please get in touch to discuss further.
Many thanks

Satcom Training Feedback
Recent feedback from the SATCOM@SEA training course
I received a massive amount of valuable information, which I now need to try and retain. The useful websites, presentation material and manufacturer documentation will help for future reference. I will highly recommend this training course to others.
This was a great course with good, solid training material and exercises. I have already informed other crew that they should attend this class.
Superyacht Electronics Academy have really helped me, being a rookie to the industry. Having no real previous experience of VSAT, I feel confident I could tackle problems that arise in future.
