Background to Shipping goes cyber – 100% online action


Coracle is delighted to be able to offer Background to Shipping
ICS as a 100% online course for students.

This pioneering online version of the ICS Understanding Shipping course allows students to complete the multiple-choice section of the course online.

As the ICS requirement for an interview to pass the course has now been removed, this course is the first totally online route to a certificate – instant gratification!

After passing the Background to Shipping course, Coracle will issue successful students with a discount code to further their maritime studies by studying Foundation Diploma courses with Coracle.




Bob Couttie says “Safety first” with MAC – casebooks that care
Maritime safety expert Bob Couttie is posting some of his innovative case file podcasts on Coracle to spread the word about accident avoidance.

Drawn from investigations around the world, the Maritime Accident Casebook podcasts explore in an informal, entertaining and accessible way how and why incidents happen and how they might be avoided.

Says Bob, “The objective of Maritime Accident Casebook is to empower seafarers to keep themselves alive and keep their ships from harm by offering lessons from real world events that they can use in their daily work, whether deckhands or masters.”
