COBALT v10 is suitable as a teaching aid in a classroom, supporting a trainer or lecturer. It is also an effective self-study resource for students who wish to advance their knowledge at sea, home or at the company head office. Whilst primarily aimed at marine engineers who wish to advance their careers, COBALT v10 modules can also be used by non-engineering students, such as deck officers, and other professionals requiring cross training.

COBALT v10 modules and assessments focus on the requirements of STCW. The exercises use a method of assessment to meet the requirements for practical skills testing and competence on systems and machinery operation as required by STCW.
