To provide an understanding and working knowledge of resistance and propulsion of ships. Experimental and theoretical methods are covered with an emphasis on application to design. Students are shown the theory behind these methods and are required to demonstrate usage of the methods (both theory and experiment) to predict resistance and hence propulsion requirements. This unit builds on the...

This unit develops advanced knowledge and applied skills for airway, oxygenation and ventilation interventions to support patients with acute or complex medical or trauma emergencies and in the critical care and retrieval setting. Clinical skills teaching will scaffold from theory to practice using simulation or cadaver-based education models in a three-day practical intensive.  You will further...

This is an onboard study program approved by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA). It has been structured in a way that enables the candidate to perform and familiarise themselves with routine shipboard emergency, navigational and operational tasks. This training will enhance the learning experience, setting out the groundwork for next phase of studies. It should be completed during...
