The Advanced Radar course is for those who have taken Basic Radar with Kevin Monahan and wish to increase their practical and technological knowledge. Please note that Basic Radar is a prerequisite for this course.
This online Zoom course with extensive visuals and simulations focuses on:
- Advanced collision avoidance techniques and radar plotting
- Vectors and their use in collision avoidance
- The use of ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) for collision avoidance
- Advanced navigation techniques, especially for navigation in remote areas where electronic charts are not dependable
- The strengths and weaknesses of modern solid-state radar, Doppler radar and broadband radar
Instructor
Kevin Monahan is an experienced captain, retired Canadian Coast Guard officer, and author of The Radar Book: Effective Navigation and Collision Avoidance.

I was able to sign up for the Advanced Radar but not for the first session of the Basic Radar. I have since signed up for the Basic Radar on April 10. Should I cancel the Advanced Radar and re-register for it after having completed the Basic Radar? Or is it ok to do Advanced first and then Basic?
Cheers,
Dave
