agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: Or chart reading (as a course title). From the asker's explanation, it could actually be nautical charts, and it could also be medical charts or even charts in general. There is no obligation to be more specific than the original.
12 hrs
  -> Exactly, so it is safer not to qualify "charts".
agree  Victoria Frazier: Agree with Muriel.
22 hrs
  -> Yes, this is why I put "charts" with no qualifier. We are not mind-readers, with such little context:)
