Navigation can be difficult especially if you don’t have a sense of direction. However, navigation technologies have continuously developed to provide the best-advanced navigation systems to assist everyone who needs it.
Learning how navigation works and how it could change someone’s life is emphasized in this [course_title]. You are provided with knowledge on positioning applications that are all important with the navigation on ships, automobiles, and even aircraft navigations.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer need to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
