Training and Education
Training Today
There has never been a time where good training and education has been more critical, whether it is for the seafarer, those involved ashore in ship operations or other bodies involved in the maritime community.
Ship Operating Companies / Manning Agencies
The Seafarer
It is widely believed that the knowledge of some seafarers needs to improve for the benefit of increasing safety and operational standards and in order to reduce the risk of accidents and claims.
Along with our human factor experts, our experienced team of trainers and our training partners Maersk Training Centre UK Ltd, we can offer a wide variety of courses that will enable seastaff to be better equipped for today’s shipping needs.
Ship Operating Companies
Shore Staff
Some operators and managers are having to recruit office staff with less experience than would have been the case a number of years ago. This can result in a lesser understanding of the industry, on how safety should be properly managed and what happens when things go wrong.
ConsultISM can offer shipping companies courses that will result in a better and practical understanding of responsibilities surrounding safety management and in particular the roles of the DPA. These courses can be geared toward all levels of management up to and including CEO level.
Other Sectors
Training for other industry bodies is also essential in order to fully understand how ships should be operated safely and in particular how the ISM Code has become an integral part of claims negotiation, arbitration, disputes and litigation.
ConsultISM has a variety of courses available for the following members of the industry:
Training for flag and port state inspectors can also be conducted by ConsultISM for onboard inspections or incident investigation.
Maersk Training Centre
In 2009 ConsultISM linked up to create an alliance with Maersk Training Centre UK Ltd (MTC) in Newcastle. This has allowed both ConsultISM and MTC to offer an unrivalled selection of courses to clients ranging from DPA training through ship safety officer courses to tailored ISM specific courses. The alliance also allows the sharing of facilities and resources across the globe.
