CES Trainer helps seafarers prepare for the CES (Crew Evaluation System) test. Practise CES-format questions for your department and level, see the correct answers, and know how ready you are before you visit the crewing office. Every question illustration is built into the app, so diagrams, symbols and photos open instantly, even offline on board.
