Answers to frequently asked questions about our courses, training methods and career opportunities in inland navigation.
Whether you are looking for information on courses for novice skippers, training programmes for experienced skippers or want to know more about the environment and safety standards on inland waterway vessels, our answers will give you a clear insight and help you with your training.
It depends on whether you are already an experienced captain or would like to start a new career in inland navigation.
If you already have a skipper's service book and several years of experience on inland waterway vessels, the following courses are suitable for you: ADN, LNG, radiotelephone operator course, captain A+B, radar, route certificate, certified simulator driving and expert for passenger navigation.
And if you are completely new to this field, the first step for you is course number 1: "Basic safety training" to obtain your first EU skipper's service book, and step number two, enrolment on the three-year "training course".
From January 2022, new European legislation will apply to the qualification of ship crews. It is now necessary to complete a three-day basic safety training course in order to obtain the first EU service record book. Based on the certificate of completion of the basic safety training, the applicant will then be issued the first EU skipper's service book at the Road Traffic Office or, in the Czech Republic, at the SPS.
From January 2022, new European legislation will apply to the qualification of ship crews.
After enrolling in a three-year training programme, the student automatically receives the rank of "Leichtmatrose" in the skipper's service book. And then, in the combination of practice + training, the student receives higher and higher ranks in half the time. So you can work your way up from Leichtmatrose to captain in 3 years.
