Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and recent Executive Orders issued in both Washington and Maryland, MITAGS, with USCG and VA approval, has taken some of our upcoming spring courses online to offer a blended learning experience, allowing our students to continue their training.
Students are now able to take a portion of select courses online. Then, once our campuses open again, students will finish the remaining portion of their course and examinations in our traditional classroom setting.

MITAGS launches NAV-SAFE Digital Voyages – a new BRM and COLREGS assessment tool
MITAGS is starting the new year with the introduction of an exciting new type of training and assessment tool. NAV-SAFE Digital Voyages combine the interaction of a video game with the science of skills assessment. NAV-SAFE is a digital learning product which can be loaded onto a company's Learning Management System (LMS), or accessed via the internet. This means mariners can access the product while working at sea or from home on their time off, without having to travel to a distant training center. NAV-SAFE uses technology drawn from MITAGS's powerful Wärtsilä bridge simulators combined with a polished learning experience developed in association with UK-based KILO Solutions. Participants in a Digital Voyage navigate a ship through a challenging series of interactions with other ships, navigational hazards and weather activity. They make decisions based not only on visual information, but interpretation of data from Radar and ECDIS, and voice communications over VHF radio with other ships, traffic control and their own lookouts.
