Mobile app

Remote training
Deliver your in-house training remotely as part of a blended learning programme using the Virtual Classroom functionality in OLP. You can deliver instructor-led training anywhere, anytime and brief your crew onboard from the shore.
With OLP you can also shift familiarisation to pre-joining. Otherwise, crew have to hit the ground running immediately on arrival on board. Frequently they are fatigued at this point and don’t take it in what is being communicated making training a tick box exercise, negatively impacting performance and safety.
An additional advantgae is to the safety/training officer onboard. These are often overwhelmed so this will allow them to focus on their objectives.
Comprehensive reporting
You can identify training performance issues before they become a problem, implement proactive remedies, and put plans in place to improve performance going forward.
With a clear view of performance, you can see issues that may arise in audits/inspections and proactively address them. If an audit identifies the same issues, the fact you have a plan to address them can reduce the severity of the finding.
Identifying shortfalls in training performance enables you to support vessel leadership teams with the plans and resources to rectify the shortfalls.
Online Assessment
You can rapidly and remotely verify the skills of new crew and hotel staff and activate (or disqualify) them quickly.
Crew and staff can be assessed and certificated in a matter of hours.
Existing crew or staff can continue to upskill themselves while at home or when travelling to the vessel through the online version of OLP and the mobile app.
All records of training are automatically synced and viewable by you and your team.
