When training shuts down globally in a safety critical industry, e-learning is essential to ensure operations can continue and that crews continue to have the knowledge and skills to perform their roles safely. The global shutdown has accelerated the use of e-learning had been a growing part of the training mix for many years, its growth accelerated by the global shutdown and the need for continuing certification.<\/p>\n
Speed<\/strong><\/p>\n When high volumes of personnel need to be certificated quickly \u2013 as is happening with the recertification of cruise hotel staff, training centres cab be a physical bottleneck. Online certification enables employers and recruiters to serve a higher volume of people more quickly, with no limit to the number of people that can be trained, assessed, and certificated.<\/p>\n Expectation<\/strong><\/p>\n We now have a generation digital of natives. Our seafarers are far more familiar with doing things digitally, on their phones and personal devices. This generation of seafarers expects learning to be available through digital means. Companies that want to attract and retain top talent are investing in online learning.<\/p>\n We define a course as \u201cone or more e-learning modules that lead to an assessment and a certificate at the end\u201d. Each course blends various digital learning materials, including animation, videos, and images. A course may be taken on board in a supervised environment, with learning materials available digitally with study overseen and signed off by the Master or senior staff. Some courses require workbooks to be completed, signed off, and submitted to our team digitally. Once a workbook is received, it is reviewed by one of our subject matter experts and approved assessors.<\/p>\n Alternatively, some courses can be taken online in any location with assessments carried out through a mix of online tests and in-person examinations under approved conditions. Our Marlins Approved Test Centres<\/a> constitute a network of 230 global locations to do this.<\/p>\n We have a long and proud history of working with the NMA, the UK MCA, Liberia ship registry and Marshall Islands Flags.<\/p>\n When creating our courses, we consult with subject matter experts and the authors of the relevant industry standards, such as OCIMF SIGGTO. Once ready, the course is submitted to the Flag state for review and only once approved are we authorised to issue certificates on their behalf.<\/p>\n Our courses are rigorously reviewed and regularly audited by the organisations on whose behalf we issue certificates to ensure that remote certification meets or exceeds the quality of in-person certification.<\/p>\n Courses to build your skills, open new opportunities and progress your maritime career.<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re looking to develop your career in the commercial shipping, cruise, yacht or offshore sector, you will find on-demand learning from the best-known maritime training providers in the world.<\/p>\n Browse the catalogue<\/a><\/p>\n Our courses provide a fast and reliable route to seafarer training and certification, approved by some of the most reputable Flags, and recognised by inspectors and auditors across the globe.<\/p>\n Subscription<\/b><\/p>\n Logging in to one of our systems on board or in your company offices, learners select their assigned title and move through the materials and assessments.
