The philosophy of Infornav safety training
Safety at sea is not based on ready-made recipes. It relies on the analysis of real situations, an understanding of risk mechanisms and the ability to make decisions in sometimes constrained contexts.
Infornav safety courses favour a teaching approach based on field experience, reflection and the acquisition of lasting reflexes, applicable in real-life situations.
Main topics covered during safety training courses
Infornav safety courses address the most common critical situations in coastal and offshore navigation, through realistic scenarios and a progressive approach focused on decision-making and autonomy.

Why train for safety at sea
At sea, situations evolve rapidly and pressure can impair decision-making. Safety relies on reflexes built calmly, before being confronted with them.
Training for safety means learning to analyse, anticipate and act methodically, in order to navigate more calmly and fully assume one’s responsibilities.
