MARITIME TRAINING COURSES ONLINE AND SIMULATION
LEARNING FOR THE MARINE INDUSTRY
A full range of marine training courses
offered online, simulation, blended and
competence-based learning and
assessment for the maritime industry, using
the best resources that technology can
offer! We offer both generic and fully
customized training. All courses can be
accessed using various devices such as
smartphones, tablets and PCs at home or in
the workplace. Courses can be uploaded to
our Learning Management System so that
all delegates can utilize the courses in one
common place.
Our teams collaborate with our clients to develop custom digital and blended learning courses that
reflect their branding, working practices and procedures, equipment, vessels and assets, culture and
safety policies. The learner is able to move seamlessly from the digital training environment to their real-
life workplace, having already learned about the layout and safety areas of their workplace and the
procedures and forms they need to adhere to. Specific skills on the equipment found on their vessel will
have been developed on the same manufacturer’s equipment during interactive workshops and the
learner’s skills on this equipment can be further tested through the performance of a number of tasks in
the workplace.
All custom courses are competence assessed as meeting the required standard. Our teams work with
every client to ensure that the training is certified to the appropriate international standard and fulfils any
specific requirements.

MARITIME AND MARINE
Full range of maritime training courses online,
simulation, blended learning, custom, competence-
based learning, assessments and engineering topics
for the marine industry.
E-LEARNING – GENERIC
Safety-related topics that require mandatory training in order for delegates to be able to work at sea or
offshore. Training courses filled with highly interactive digital content, supported by practical training and
workshops, to achieve the required standards and certification.
All maritime training courses address all of the required learning outcomes from the standards and present
the training content in the most time and cost-effective way, while maintaining the highest standards of
interactivity and learner engagement. Courses are assessed according to the standards, using a variety of
online and competence-based assessments. Certification is made in accordance with the Awarding Bodies
and also offering subsequent refresher training to the same standards that will maintain the learners’
knowledge and skills.
ONLINE SIMULATION
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 Transas 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.

Ship-to-Ship Transfer
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.
BLENDED LEARNING (ENGINEERING) – IN PRODUCTION
Our teams are currently developing engineering courses to accommodate a global shortfall in competent
Marine Junior Engineers who are replacing experienced maritime personnel heading off into retirement.
This program will include e-Learning for all the theory, practical workshops for skills development and then
competence assessment and external verification of tasks completed on the vessels via workbooks. The
courses will contain generic information but will be tailored to each customer’s procedures, equipment,
operations, terminology and branding.

LEARNING CONSULTANCY
Our teams specialize in understanding clients’ learning challenges and working with each to resolve them.
Strong emphasis is placed in improving compliance and competence across organizations while instilling a
robust and motivational learning culture.
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. Our Subject Matter Experts work with our clients to streamline not
only the mandatory training, but also to develop a learning and safety culture that drives best practices
across their 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 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.
Training Needs Analysis
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.
Competence Standards and Systems
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 Teams can assist in
developing the standards, to ensure that specific roles have clearly defined competencies that align with
best practices 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.
Training Optimization
Highly experienced in working with global marine businesses to assist in optimizing their
training operation by:
Optimizing the training matrices to remove duplication and unnecessary training, while ensuring that
all the required training is included
Developing the optimum pedagogy for all courses in the training matrix, using a mix of online,
instructor-led, and on-the-job training
Developing the most effective assessment methodologies for all subject areas
Assisting to identify the most cost-effective providers for all the training courses and consolidating the
training supply chain
Ensuring all mandatory training and certification requirements are being met
This work can be performed remotely or by placing a specialist in-house to support the clients’ Training and
Development Departments.
LEARNING MANAGEMT SYSTEM FOR THE MARINE INDUSTRY
The Learning Management System is a fundamental tool that enables learners to access and undertake
digital learning content and to be assessed and certified on that content.
The specialized LMS has been developed for the Maritime Industry to be extremely simple and intuitive to
use, while offering a wide range of highly advanced features for individual learners and for Training
Managers. Delegates can log-in and easily find the courses that they have to undertake and the progress
they have made to-date on all courses. Training Managers and Administrators can quickly view and
generate reports that illustrate the progress of all employees across the enterprise, showing courses
passed, failed, in progress and those that are still to be undertaken. Automatic alerts and emails remind
learners of the deadlines by which they need to complete their training.
Learners can store all their evidence of competence in the system, so they have digital access to all their
certificates, medicals and passport information on an immediate basis. Our system will also highlight
competence gaps that require to be filled by learners in order to reach specific skill-levels and roles and will
allow them to plan their career progression based on the knowledge and competencies required for
promotion to their next position.
