VSTEP is proud to announce its growing presence in France as Le CFANI, an esteemed institution in Tremblay-sur-Mauldre, has chosen to integrate their state-of-the-art NAUTIS simulators into their training programs.
This strategic move marks a significant step in extending VSTEP’s influence in the French maritime education sector.
Revolutionising Training with Simulation Technology
Le CFANI has invested in two CESNI Vessel Handling simulators and an instructor/debriefing station, reinforcing their commitment to high-quality maritime training. With their simulators already established in other parts of France, Le CFANI is set to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their training programs dramatically.
The decision to integrate the NAUTIS simulators was driven by Le CFANI’s commitment to enhancing logistics and streamlining their training process. Their training vessel was located 30 km away on the Seine, requiring complex arrangements, such as hiring buses and transporting students for practical sessions. This process was not only time-consuming but also resource-intensive.
Enhancing Training Efficiency
