High Voltage (Management Level)

This 4½-day High Voltage (Management Level) training course is for those seafarers with responsibility for high voltage power systems and provides the essential education and training in high voltage installations required to meet the Understanding, Knowledge and Proficiency (UPK) requirements set out in STCW Table AIII/2 and AIII/6 for electrical, electronic and control systems at the Management Level.

While delivering competence in management of high voltage installations, troubleshooting and restoration of electrical equipment to operating condition, a combination of theoretical tuition by our experienced maritime professionals and practical exercises using safe high voltage training equipment will ensure that delegates achieve the following learning outcomes:

  • manage high voltage operations on board a ship
  • understand the high voltage system and the maintenance of distribution capability
  • identify faults within a high voltage system and reconfigure the system to maintain supply

The course is suitable for marine engineering officers, electrical or electro-technical officers, marine superintendents and engineering surveyors.

After successful completion of the course, delegates will be issued with UK MCA-approved STCW certification.
