Crew Evaluation System (CES)

Evaluate new crew members’ STCW knowledge

Designed to evaluate the background knowledge of seafarers, CES is an online assessment tool used to identify training needs specific to knowledge areas defined in STCW.

CES reveals the strengths and weaknesses of any given candidate, helping to choose candidates based on the skill set and experience they have. CES can be used to plan remedial training and development opportunities to address any weaknesses and maximise potential.

Objective data can predict employee success.

  • Assess seafarers’ level of knowledge and expertise with CES.
  • Test candidates specific subject and knowledge levels required for their position.

CES test types

Three types of tests available:

  • STCW test based on rank, department & vessel type
  • Detailed test based on 10 functional areas
  • Company specific test
