At any time whilst on board the cadet will have access to computer on which MEETS Engine is installed. So the cadet will be able to look up the training module(s) which relates to the task or tasks in hand. Each training module contains a detailed overview and description of the task. It will provide the cadet with the knowledge required to complete that task. It will provide a reference for a cadet to go back to for purposes of checking some points or for revision.

MEETS Engine can be accessed for quick reference or can be used for in depth study. Each training module is referenced to a record book task. It lists objectives and contains an index. From the index, the cadet can by 'point and click' with the mouse, jump to any topic within the module and jump back to the index at anytime. Reference information is set out in an easy to read format supported by pictures, diagrams and video clips. The cadet can scroll through, or page through, the module to find item of interest. Getting to the correct module is also made easy. Firstly, the cadet can follow a path through the TASK TREE. This TASK TREE follows the structure of the record book. So the cadet can use the structure of the record book to find the training module required. Secondly, MEETS Engine contains a powerful search facility to move right inside the modules to pinpoint the information needed. Each module includes some related assignments. These are designed to encourage the cadets investigative skills through the use of the Cadet's Journal.

Each module includes self-test questions. These are designed for the cadet to check his or her knowledge of the contents of the module. When a training module has been completed, the cadets checks a box to tell this to the computer. So at all times the cadet's progress is known and can be supervised by the officers responsible for the cadet's training onboard. Reports of progress can be printed.
