Bridge Resource Management (BRM) - Course #151
This 3 day course focuses on introducing the candidate to the proper Bridge Resource and Teamwork Management functions and on taking action to avoid close quarters situations in accordance with the COLREGS. Please note that operational level candidates applying for an STCW Endorsement must also meet the Leadership & Teamworking Skills Requirement which is fulfilled by registering for day four which is listed as course #216. The student services office will apply a $50 discount to those candidates taking both courses consecutively. Note that management level officers would register for Leadership & Management #616 in addition to the BRM Course and do not need to take the #216 Course.
