Software training courses
Teaching you the ropes through virtual training, classroom courses and blended learning
EIVA offers a variety of software training courses designed to enhance maritime professionals' understanding of NaviSuite, as well as improve their competences with the various tools and features of the range of NaviSuite products.
Software courses are delivered by expert instructors and are run according to a fixed schedule/calendar (detailed below), with training courses being conducted on a virtual platform, as well as at various locations around the world, including EIVA headquarters in Denmark.
Alongside fixed training courses, we also offer the opportunity to arrange customised training courses tailored to your business needs. These courses can be run both virtually and with an instructor physically at hand, depending on your requirements and the given possibilities. It is thus possible to build a course entirely around your requirements, allowing for selection of specific course contents, duration, time and location.
Any other requirements you have, we will be more than happy to hear about and work towards accommodating. If you are interested in this option, please get in touch.

- Handle redundant information
- QC and troubleshooting based on raw data inputs and communication between NaviSuite software packages
- Perform online Kalman filtering
- Start, configure and use the Helmsman’s Display 4 program in an online environment
- Display and calculate live data
- Configure and use DataMon to calculate and output to NaviSuite or 3rd party SW
- Create survey plans with runlines and waypoints
- Log survey data for different tasks and in different formats
- Conduct editing of multibeam data in a NaviEdit/NaviModel environment
- Use the various DTM tools in NaviModel and Helmsman’s Display
- Perform multibeam data cleaning in NaviModel
- Conduct a Patch Test calibration in NaviModel/NaviEdit
