Digital Training Solutions
Digital training courses
WinGD training courses are conducted by professional, STCW-95 certified instructors to improve the technical and operational skills of marine engineers and office personnel. With a deeper understanding of the engine and its applied technologies, engine operators will be able to enhance the performance of the engine by increasing its efficiency and reliability, by reducing maintenance costs and by lowering emission levels.
Experienced trainers explain the theory and functionality of RT-flex, Generation X and the newest low-pressure dual-fuel X-DF engines using conventional training materials in the classroom and the modern W-Xpert engine simulation software.
During advanced operational trainings, with the help of W-Xpert Full Mission Engine Room Simulators (FMS), trainers will guide participants through operational aspects of the main engines as well as demonstrate certain procedures and troubleshooting routines.
The Full Mission Simulators (FMS) allow training of engine crew as one team to deal not only with WinGD two-stroke engines, but also with all engine room systems.
Specialised courses offer a high level of engine training. They are designed to improve the understanding of the engines and highlight dedicated topics, like WinGD engine performance optimisation, piston running theory or Engine Control Systems. Courses are given by STCW-95 certified and experienced Technical Experts.
In addition to the W-Xpert and the FMS, in some locations, courses offer exercises on selected engine components and real hardware including hardware control system simulators.
W-Xpert
The W-Xpert Engine Room Simulator is a simulation software introducing WinGD solutions for merchant marine propulsion in an intuitive, attractive, efficient and easy to learn way.
The WinGD Xpert Engine Room Simulator is a simulation software introducing WinGD solutions for merchant marine propulsion in an intuitive, attractive, efficient and easy to learn way.
A powerful training software tool that enables ship owners and operators to remain flexible with their crews and competitive in the demanding and constantly changing marine business. The simulator is designed to train marine engineers and maritime academy students, and can be used by various types of marine training centres.
All WinGD Xpert simulators comply with the STCW Code Section A-1/12 and Section B-1/12 and ISM Code Section 6 and Section 8. Due to its low demand on computer performance, the WinGD Xpert simulation software can be installed and operated on any Windows based PC or laptop, and can be displayed on one or two monitors or projectors.
The WinGD Xpert SW can be used for self-learning on-board, in the office, or any location where only standard off-the-shelf computers are available. The main purpose of the WinGD Xpert simulator is to prepare trainees for actual engine room operations, more specifically:
- Familiarisation with the particular engine type, including the Engine Control System features and Operator’s Interface
- Familiarisation with a generic engine room installation (electric power plant systems, compressed air systems, fresh and sea water cooling systems, lubricating and fuel oil systems, etc.) and how the installation affects operation of the main engine.
The WinGD Xpert software contains high-fidelity simulations of an engine’s thermodynamics. Its performance is based on mathematical modelling and is calibrated according to actual products. It deploys the proprietary, top of the range, 3D graphical visualisation, seamless transitions between 2D diagrams and 3D objects, and realistic sounds. The simulator provides a 3D model of an engine room with generic lay-out features to give a realistic, hands-on like experience of the onboard environment.
Full Mission Simulator
All WinGD Training Centres and select Training Partners are equipped with state-of-the-art Full Mission Engine Room Simulators.
The simulators offer participants the opportunity to experience extreme situations like a complete power black-out or fire, gaining valuable knowledge and confidence. Training hosted outside of our Training Centres are supported by similar Engine Room Simulator software.
