Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA)

This 5-day course is for mariners who are required to have a radar endorsement on their license in conjunction with STCW-95, and whose vessels are ARPA equipped.

This course includes simulator radar plotting designed to enable the mariner to make efficient and effective use of radar as a navigational aid in congested, confined waters, recognize potential threats and make valid navigational and collision-avoidance decisions base on sound radar observations.

Upon completion of the course, students take a USCG-approved exam right here at AMA. A certificate of completion will be given if the student successfully passes the exam. The student can then submit that certificate to the USCG as an endorsement to their license.

Please call if you have any questions regarding license requirements.

See course schedules and cost for more information.
