The development of the ECDIS system made a big contribution to simpler navigation and safer sailing. However, some deficiencies that vary in nature still exist, ECDIS education being one of them. This paper presents official training and education related to the ECDIS system with the aim of highlighting the existing challenges and the importance of solving them. In addition, the paper explains the architecture of the ECDIS system and its components, as well as the development of electronic navigation. Additionally, different types of marine navigation charts and their differences are explained. The paper also discusses the development and implementation of the system and its placement on the bridge. Through the main part of this paper, types of education and their features are presented and discussed. Several key problems reducing safety in ECDIS education have been identified. Examples of human errors that caused maritime accidents are also given and the importance of key safety settings was pointed out.
