Topics include maritime career awareness; chart navigation; safety of life at sea; time, speed, and distance problems; nautical courtesy; basic rules of the road; and knot tying. Eligible Tribal members who complete the Nautical Skills course may be eligible to receive tuition and room and board funds to assist them with participation in a wide range of maritime training at AVTEC.
