Jillian Carson-Jackson MEd FNI FRIN has been involved in the maritime industry all her working life. Born in Oakville, Ontario, she joined the Canadian Coast Guard straight from high school, graduating as a navigation officer.
Her experience afloat included ice-breaking, search and rescue and buoy-tending. After coming ashore, she worked in the rescue co-ordination centre (RCC) Halifax, the vessel traffic services centre Halifax and Saint John, New Brunswick. Ten years teaching at the Canadian Coast Guard College (CCGC) followed, covering vessel traffic services, maritime communications and simulators. This included a bridge simulator; a BRM simulation; a VTS simulator; maritime radio communications (shore station radio) and global maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS).
She worked with IALA in the development of VTS training and assisted in the design of the CCGC VTS simulator. She ran ‘train the trainer’ courses at the CCGC for Canadian and foreign students and provided lectures for Norcontrol simulator user conferences.
In 2002, Jillian moved from Canada to France to work with IALA as the Technical Coordination Manager. In 2006, she moved to Australia, where she took on the role of Manager of Vessel Traffic and Pilotage Services. These positions took her away from her passion of training and education, and in 2016 she became Managing Director and CEO of JCJ Consulting. She currently teaches both maritime and corporate training courses and is very happy to be back teaching in the simulator – including implementing on-line interactive simulation training.
Jillian is a Past President of The Nautical Institute, a Director of GlobalMET, a Trustee of ISWAN and is on the Board of Directors of Captains Without Borders. She holds a Diploma of Nautical Science (Navigation) from the Canadian Coast Guard College, a Bachelor of Education (adult education) from the Université de Moncton and a Master of Education from the University of Toronto (Ontario Institute for Secondary Education). She also has a Certificate 4 in Training and Assessment under the Australian Qualifications Framework.
