NAPA Computer-Based Training (CBT) software package offers an effective method for learning and going over the basic elements of ship stability and safety at sea. More than 30 topics are presented with the help of illustrative animations and examples.

NAPA CBT aims to fill the gap between knowledge and beliefs. The package comprises a wide range of lessons in ship stability, damage stability, strength, and ship operation – all subjects that will never become obsolete. Forgetting these basic subjects is easy if they are not practiced on a daily basis. NAPA CBT remains an ever-current source of information onboard ships.

The marine world is full of complicated phenomena, simplification of which often leads to erroneous conclusions and wrong courses of action. One of NAPA CBT's main goals is to make the subjects and phenomena both intelligible and accessible to the user without over-simplifying them. Through clever animations and insightful commentary, the user inevitably gains a more profound understanding of the subject matter.

NAPA CBT includes easy update tools, an interactive theory test with a database of over 500 questions, and a user editor tool for monitoring the learning progress and usage of NAPA CBT. It is also possible to add custom-made animations to suit the needs of a particular fleet.

The training software utilizes animation techniques with audio. The easily accessible user interface makes the learning process an enjoyable experience.

NAPA CBT can be run on Windows 2000, Windows 2003 and Windows XP operating systems. Both single user and network licences are available. The required disk space is approx. 400 MB and the minimum processor requirement is Intel Pentium 1 GHZ.

NAPA CBT is a great resource for those onboard ships who deal with the basic subjects of ship stability and ship operation, because it provides answers to the questions why, how and how much.
