Our 21-hour, three-day Bridge Resource Management course is delivered entirely in person. Instruction will blend short lectures, facilitated discussions and collaborative problem-solving with hands-on practical assessment in a Class-A full-mission bridge simulator, where pre-programmed scenarios let each candidate execute and adapt the voyage plans they created in class. Trainees are then assessed through a written examination consisting of 25 multiple-choice questions and *practical* assessments of competence in our IMO Class A Full-Mission Ship Bridge Simulator. These assessments align with task performance standards from the USCG's* Guidelines on Qualification for STCW Endorsements as Officer in Charge of a Navigational Watch (OICNW)*. Each student **MUST:** - Describe when there is a need for additional personnel on the bridge and when to notify the Master. - Identify all vessels (targets) posing a risk or danger of collision and provide appropriate information and recommendations on vessel traffic and any other situation or condition that may affect the safe navigation of the vessel to the conning officer. - Determine and plot the vessel’s position by electronic and visual means, communicate as required on the VHF, carry out all engine commands, ensure that all rudder commands are properly carried out, and make all appropriate logbook entries. - Monitor the vessel’s movement, recognize the erroneously-stated information about the vessel’s position or target vessel’s movement, and notify the conning officer of specific questions regarding the vessel’s situation. - Navigate in congested near coastal waters with good visibility and determine the appropriate action to take. - Determine and plot the vessel’s position at suitable intervals, and plot or systematically observe all approaching vessels and inform the bridge team of dangers to navigation, intended course changes, and vessels that pose a risk or danger of collision. - Determine the number of officers and crewmembers required to safely navigate the vessel and assign individual officers and crewmembers specific duties and functions as part of the bridge team. - Perform the duties of an OICNW during an operation entering port and docking the vessel. A passing score is required on the examination and successful completion of all task performance standards are required to demonstrate competence and complete the course.

A listed course does not establish that a class is currently scheduled. ## Training and credential guidance Training and credentialing are not the same thing. Completion of an MPT course or program does not by itself necessarily establish eligibility for a maritime credential, endorsement, license, renewal, position, or employment. Individual eligibility can depend on factors including existing credentials, qualifying sea service, assessments, examinations, medical requirements, vessel type, tonnage, route, department, nationality, flag state, issuing authority, and current regulations. Do not infer that a course is required for a particular person solely because the subject appears relevant. Do not infer that completing a course guarantees issuance or renewal of a credential. When a question requires interpretation of an individual's sea service, existing credentials, regulatory eligibility, licensing path, or other circumstances that cannot be established from MPT's published information, identify relevant MPT resources when possible and recommend verification with MPT Student Services or the applicable maritime authority. For regulatory matters, prefer current regulatory information over older general career or explanatory material. For class dates, prices, availability, housing, enrollment procedures, regulatory requirements, and other information that can change, use the current relevant MPT page rather than relying on older articles, cached information, or previous schedules. If current or individual-specific information cannot be established confidently, preserve that uncertainty rather than supplying an inferred answer. [MPT guidance](https://www.mptusa.com/llms.txt).
