Marine Simulation training uses technology to create environments to train ship’s officers, pilots and a range of other senior maritime professions in the safe and competent operation of the navigational bridge, electronic charting systems, dynamic positioning stations and liquid cargo transportation systems.
Our teams work with the largest maritime and marine companies in the world to deliver navigational assessment and simulated bridge and ECDIS operations using the latest technology. This technology presents simulated environments that challenge the delegate with a range of hazards, system failures and challenging human element scenarios that require the delegates to demonstrate competence in their knowledge of the systems and of the correct procedures to follow to avoid critical failures from occurring.
Courses meet the STCW standards and are developed to include client-specific information such that the training is wholly relevant to the delegates and prepares them to move from the simulator training straight into real-world marine operations.
Maritime simulation technology simulates and overcomes navigational and leadership challenges. These courses are 3-5 days duration and involve instructor-led delivery via webinar, supplemented with simulation sessions on the learner’s own PC – controlled by the instructor – to allow competence-based work to be performed and assessed.
Simulation courses can be run in a physical environment, with delegates attending lecturer-led training and simulation sessions. We deliver online simulation courses that use exactly the same materials and deliver the lecturer-led presentations via interactive webinars, and the simulation training online with delegates being able to access the simulator software, and perform exercises, from the comfort of their own home or office.
All marine training materials have been developed by Master Mariners who have also worked as lecturers for various International Maritime Academies and are recognized as meeting the STCW standards.

The purpose of the Ship to Ship (STS) training is to train captains and officers as wells as pilots or mooring masters in advanced ship maneuvering techniques during STS operations by improving communication and mutual understanding between the captain of the mother vessel and the pilot or mooring master on the daughter vessel during maneuvering. This is ensured through theory and simulator exercises, and in that way a high level of skills in relation to close quarter STS operations is ensured.
The course will contain ongoing monitoring of the delegate’s performance and a final assessment.
Creating the optimum blended learning program requires a careful review of all the theoretical and practical elements needed to meet the learning outcomes. The Team of Course Designers consider all forms of training and learning to create the most effective learning and assessment program, which can be completed in the shortest timeframe and most flexible manner at the lowest total training cost.
The pedagogy of each course will be determined by many factors, including the profiles of the learners, their ability to use technology, and the standards and certification required.
Prior to entering a training course or syllabus, there may be pre-learning required to ensure that all delegates arrive at the course with a common standard of theoretical knowledge. This ensures that the practical and workshop-based training can be conducted at a pace where no delegate is “left behind”. Pre-learning can include self-study using online resources, undertaking online e-Learning courses to learning theoretical concepts or mentoring sessions with an experienced professional in the field.
Pre-assessment is used to ensure that delegates who have had to complete pre-learning have gained the theoretical knowledge required for them to participate in more advanced training. Pre-assessment is also used to ensure that delegates who are experienced in the field, actually have the knowledge required on the specific subject matter that the training course will cover. Pre-assessment can be conducted using online assessment tools and for safety-critical subjects, may occur at the training facility prior to the training taking place.
Digital Learning can take many forms, including e-Learning courses and micro learning, where delegates are given access to nuggets of information relating to a specific subject or item of equipment. This allows for targeted learning aimed at specific, predefined learning outcomes. Using online simulation and online assessment tools along with a wide range of assessment techniques, the knowledge of the learners is determined. Our teams specialize in developing highly interactive online courses that use a wide variety of media techniques including immersive 3D environments, AR/VR, animations and high quality video, to provide the learner with a learning environment that reflects their own place of work. All online offerings are optimized for delivery in low bandwidth environments.
The experience and presence of an instructor can be a key element in enabling delegates to develop skills and competences. Our instructors deliver interactive workshops and guide delegates through task-based activities that are aimed at creating competence in the delegates. Basic theory is delivered online and our instructors focus solely on task-based training and the competence assessment of delegates. This ensures that the total time of a training course can be minimized, with theoretical content delivered online and instructors using their skills where they are most effective – on skills-based training, not delivering PowerPoint presentations.
We use instructors to train delegates on a wide-range of subjects from mandatory and life-critical safety training skills to mechanical and electrical installation, inspection, repair and maintenance routines, and other technical courses. We have relationships with a number of equipment manufacturers of items such as electrical systems, mechanical equipment, refrigeration systems, instrumentation systems, safety systems, IAS and cryogenic and pressurized gas systems. Each course is tailored specifically for each client to reflect their equipment, procedures and safety management system.
It is vital for delegates to be able to take the skills they have learned online and in a workshop environment, into their workplace such that they can perform their roles safely and to the required level of competence. We can provide Competence Assessors and External Verifiers to attend vessels and assets to assess the competence of crew performing specific tasks to a pre-agreed standard. We can help to develop competence standards and systems for our clients, if required, or work with whichever competence system they already use. We can also create workbooks that stipulate a number of competence based-activities for completion by the delegate in their workplace, under supervision from a Qualified Person, which may then be externally verified by our group’s Verifiers onshore.
Many training courses, especially concerning mandatory safety subjects, require to be refreshed in accordance with the relevant standard. Our group has created innovative, blended learning models that maximize the use of online learning to enable refresher training to be as flexible for the learner as possible, while minimizing training costs for the employer and the delegate. Delegates’ knowledge and skills are assessed online such that the refresher training can focus very much on the individual knowledge gaps of each delegate. Where possible, all refresher training can be undertaken via smartphone to ensure maximum flexibility.
We work with a number of Internationally, recognized certification bodies to ensure the training we deliver has value and portability for the successful delegates. We also work with our clients to create tailored learning materials that are specific to their operational requirements and to then have these certified to an international standard, ensuring that the highly customized and appropriate training is also certified to an Internationally-recognized level.
Developing your personnel is not simply a case of sending them on a number of industry-mandated training courses. Each employee in your business will have specific knowledge, skills and experience and will have aspirations for their career development. We work with our clients to streamline not only the mandatory training, but also to develop a learning and safety culture that drives best practice across the workforce.
We ensure that all of the required training and competence development takes place across your entire enterprise, while addressing organization-specific and individual-specific gaps in knowledge, skills and competence. Our teams have worked with some of the largest maritime businesses in the world to improve compliance and competence across their organizations and to instill a robust and motivational learning culture.
Our work also involves analyzing every cost element of the training delivery and working with our customers to improve the quality of the learning while also optimizing the total training cost.
Getting the right training, at the right place, at the right time and the right cost
Companies can face significant challenges in determining the training required across their workforce to ensure all personnel are not only compliant with the required international legislation, but are also competent to perform their roles. This can include variations for different classes of vessels operating in different global regions. Our team of learning and development professionals work with our clients to define the skills and competences for all roles included in the training matrices for all types of vessels ensuring that effective training that develops these skills and competencies, has been identified and is available. This will include mandatory training, development training, region-specific training, vessel-specific training and equipment-specific training. This training will ensure that each learner has the required knowledge and competencies to perform their roles safely and in compliance with the applicable legislation.
Developing the attitudes, skills and experience to excel
There are many different competence standards used across the maritime industry, some based on international standards that have been created by Awarding Bodies and some developed in-house to address specific, niche roles that perform a range of specialist activities. Our team can assist in developing the standards, to ensure that specific roles have clearly defined competencies that align with best practice and accepted safety standards and can also develop online competence management systems that will allow the competencies of all personnel across the enterprise to be viewed in real time. Clients can view their compliance percentages across roles, assets, projects, regions and other pre-determined criteria. Individual competence portfolios may also be managed, updated and stored to ensure easy access to all competence and compliance information required by the regulatory authorities.
Ensuring all learning outcomes are achieved using the most effective training solution at the lowest total cost
