IHO NIPPON FOUNDATION ALUMNI SEMINAR Lessons learned from CHART Course New practical skills and knowledge raise my self-confidence to make decisions Better understanding of how to assess data and determine the relevant actions The benefits for sending me to the course from my boss s point of view (opinions overlap): my contribution to updating the production of our paper charts my participation in the implementation process of the new height system (attending the Baltic Sea region working group, working out the rules of procedure and the implementation in our office, etc).
IHO NIPPON FOUNDATION ALUMNI SEMINAR Suggestion for the future Definitely continue with the training course. It is often the fastest and only way to get a compact overview of the basic skills. For example it helped me a lot to understand the IHO standards which are needed for cartography.
