Training Description

The Driver's Awareness Training curriculum (CMCSDDAT01) is offered on MarineNet and consists of six (6) Skillsoft courses covering defensive driving, distracted driving, collision avoidance, emergency situations, safe backing, and urban driving skills. Courses in this curriculum are intended to provide awareness of safe driving skills in most on- or off-duty situations.
