Master of AtoN Management Course

IALA Standard 1050 on training and certification recommends that national Competent Authorities and the accredited training organisations (ATOs) in their country utilise model courses concerned with the provision of AtoN services, in accordance with IALA Recommendations O-149 and R0141. To assist Member States to conform to its normative provisions and to claim compliance to that Standard, the IALA World-Wide Academy has drafted a new model course L1.2 entitled “Master of Aids to Navigation Management” which is an extension of the existing IALA Level 1 AtoN Manager course. To know more about this course, please download the flyer here.
