This course is required for officers at the management level. Also required by the MCA for those applying for new CoC at the management level.

It is also recommended by the PYA for department heads serving in a management-level capacity such as Chief Stewardesss who desire a higher level of certification, leadership, and management.
The HELM course also has a practical part, where we will learn how to lead a team and the relevance of human elements on shipboard & situational awareness.
HELM is a mandatory course for anyone going for an officer master's or engineering position on a red-flagged vessel.
The Helm Operations is a 3-day course, and management is 5 days.
