Spatial Orientation is the ability to know where someone is in relation to their environment or to tell where a specific object is in relation to him/her. It includes the ability to handle information relating to where one is coming from, where one is at a specific moment, where one is heading to, etc. It requires having a good perception of the surroundings and comprehension of spatial arrangements.

This course allows you to showcase to your employers that you are being proactive and in line with the maritime industry's modern-day demands.

The course was developed based on NLP techniques and methods. Principals and examples were based on methodologies and practices from nlpincyprus and nlpgreece.
