Launching IALA Level 1 AtoN Training

Sealite is dedicated to educating the marine industry in Aids to Navigation. This begins with investing in our people. This year, five key representatives across our global business are undertaking IALA’s Level 1 – Marine Aids to Navigation – Manager training. This course is delivered online by IALA’s World-Wide Training Academy experts.

Each month our staff are connecting remotely from our offices around the world, steadily working through the training modules. The extensive training ensures students receive the latest information in accordance with IALA standards, recommendations and guidelines.

Sealite invests in the education of our people, so we can continue to offer and share expertise with our customers. In turn, the knowledge they gain will help us to improve the training Sealite provides through our Masterclass events.
