Maths at Sea is an e-learning course in Maths for nautical students and those about to begin a course at nautical college.
There is also a testing module which can be taken in conjunction with the course or as an independent self assessment.
Key features of the programme are that it has been written by professionals in nautical education and the entire programme is marine themed - it uses relevant, nautically-flavoured examples and language.
As well as functional maths, it also covers elementary aspects of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry: essential skill sets at nautical college, but often no longer covered as part of the school curriculum.
Maths At Sea was a Finalist in the International 2012 Seatrade Awards. It was highly commended by the judges as making a significant contribution to the recruitment, training, retention and advancement of the industrys most valuable asset - its people.
The award-winning course intuitively leads students to apply basic yet key maths concepts without them realising they are doing so.
Its an ideal prep for nautical college or can be used as a revision aid for students whose studies have started.
Licences to access the course and the testing programme cost £15.
