One of the key features of Maritime Academy is the Explore screen, where users can explore all the letters, numbers, substitutes, and abbreviations at their own pace. Additionally, an info screen provides detailed explanations on how to make the most out of the app.

Maritime Academy is completely ad-free and can be used offline. This makes it a convenient tool for learning on the go.

About Maritime Academy

Maritime Academy focuses on teaching maritime flag signaling, which serves as the primary means of communication between ships and shore in addition to radio communication. The app specifically covers flaghoist signaling and operates under the International Code of Signals (ICS). While non-naval vessels adhere to this standardized system, naval vessels use their own set of flags and codes.

Teaching Method

Maritime Academy employs two main teaching and training concepts: progressive introduction and focused repetition. The learning material is segmented into chapters and further divided into manageable units or levels to ensure efficient learning and training.

The learning content in Maritime Academy progresses from single-flag concepts to multi-flag concepts. This means that users start with letters and numbers, move on to words and substitutes, and finally learn single flag meanings and abbreviations.
