GuideMe mode includes all training tutorials. GuideMe is divided into different Modules, Units, and Topics to help you find relevant content easily.
The available internet connection could be an issue and maybe the cause of the great latencies.
It is highly recommended to be using a wired internet connection with a minimum speed of 10 Mbps. Also, make sure that no other software is using any internet bandwidth in parallel since it may decrease playback performance.
FreePlay mode allows you to use the original software which is installed onboard. You may apply the knowledge acquired in the GuideMe mode directly on the manufacturer’s original software.
You may click on the Reload button at the right-bottom corner of the screen.
If the ECDIS/chart is still not responding, close the FreePlay and reopen it after 5 minutes to get connected to another Virtual Machine. Also, it is highly recommended to be using a wired internet connection with a minimum speed of 10 Mbps.,
To solve the issue, exit FreePlay and access it again after 5 minutes. A new Virtual Machine will be reserved for you.

Using the mouse of your computer will simulate the usage of the trackball, which is part of the Transas ECDIS. When entering LAT or LON columns, use only the keyboard, as it is crucial not to move the mouse while you are making an entry, due to the hypersensitivity changing values easily. This issue is characteristic of Transas. When you try to enter the altitude/latitude to create a route while you are moving the mouse, it calculates altitude/latitude in real-time. The behavior is context-sensitive, and it takes a lot of bandwidth to process it. Then, the results are that the value for altitude/latitude goes up and down.
To solve the issue, exit FreePlay mode and access it again after 5 minutes. A new Virtual Machine will be reserved for you.
TestMe is the exam mode that combines a different set of questions related to the course content into one interactive exam.
The test attempts depend on the course you are undertaking. If you are assigned an ECDIS Type-Specific Training course, then you are eligible for 2 test attempts per 24 hours. The test attempts will be reset 24 hours after the last attempt.
The passing score depends on the course you are undertaking. If you are assigned an ECDIS Type-Specific Training course, then your passing score is 70%.
The number of questions depends on the course you are undertaking. If you are assigned an ECDIS Type-Specific Training course, then you need to answer 15 questions.
No, there are several different sets of questions. Even though some of them might repeat or be similar, it is unlikely that the same set of questions will appear.
The TestMe mode will be unlocked once you reach 70% progress in GuideMe mode.
During the test, the FreePlay mode is accessible since practical work might be required. To access the Virtual Machine, click on the FreePlay icon at the top-left corner and the FreePlay will open in a new tab. You can freely toggle between the tabs to complete your exercises.
This is not possible. If you wish to access the GuideMe mode, you should first exit the test. As a result, your test attempt will be marked as failed, and the test attempt will be lost.
You are eligible for 2 test attempts per 24 hours. If you have consumed both attempts and you want to retry the same day, then feel free to contact us at support@safebridge.net
The test duration depends on the course you are undertaking. If you are assigned an ECDIS Type-Specific Training course, then the test duration is 60 minutes.
Refreshing your browser might cause the failure of your exam and therefore losing the test attempt.
If you are undertaking an ECDIS Type-Specific Training course, then you can choose the webcam or the supervisor authentication. If you choose webcam authentication, a camera should be enabled, and you should be visible throughout the test. The camera will be capturing pictures randomly and once the test is submitted, our Customer Support Department will check if all test requirements are met (such as you being the person taking the test, receiving no help from others , etc.).
If you choose supervisor authentication, then a designated supervisor appointed by your company should be present during the exam. The proctor could be a fleet or training manager.
You must upload a valid ID document, or passport, or a seaman’s book. Before uploading the document, make sure that is not yet expired.
The document is needed to verify your identity so that a valid certificate is issued.
The document should be in PNG or JPEG format and no more than 1MB.
You should make sure that your webcam is connected properly and is set up right (in case you are using an external webcam). In case you are using a built-in webcam (such as in a laptop), make sure that you allow your browser to enable the camera and/or update all your drivers to the newest version.
Once your test authentication is failed, you will receive an email with the failure reason and advice on how to prevent this to happen again. Then, you can retake the test.
Once your test attempt is authenticated, a certificate will be issued and sent to your email address within 24 hours. Also, you can download the certificate from your training dashboard, by clicking on the Access certificate button.
If there is a mistake on the certificate, for example, a spelling mistake in your name, wrong date of birth, nationality, etc., please contact support@safebrigde.net and the certificate will be reissued.
Our Customer Support Department is operating from Monday to Friday. If you submit your test during the working days, it might take up to 24 hours for your certificate to be issued. If you submit your test during the weekend, then it might take up to 48 hours.
Almost all the certificates are valid indefinity. Only Wärtsilä NaviSailor 4000 by Transas is valid for 5 years since the date of issuing.
Safebridge maintains a candidate and certification database, which will be accessible to the relevant authorities via a QR code on the certificate to our online database.
This course consists only of a GuideMe mode, and therefore, no certificate is issued.
