Learning Titles

We firmly believe in a combined, blended learning approach to training and, as such, our learning titles portfolio contains  a combination e-learning modules, videos, reflective learning exercises and even learning games. This allows for a flexible  approach to training – whether in groups or by self study, we mix high drama, animation, tests and much more to deliver a first class learning experience.

E-learning

E-learning is a fast and efficient way to improve crew knowledge and awareness. Our E-learning titles use a combination of video, illustration, animation and interactivity to engage the learner and deliver the required learning outcomes.

E-learning titles enable individual crewmembers to work at their own pace checking their understanding as they work through the material. Each e-learning module is an individual training session with a final assessment at the end that can be used for record keeping, evaluation and benchmarking.

Learning videos

Our award-winning learning videos use combinations of documentary, drama and animation techniques to meet the training needs and learning styles.

Videos are ideal for group training, enabling you to get your crew up to speed on a subject in a single sitting and supplementary activities to enable group discussion and reflective learning.

Use videos in connection with onboard drills and exercises to maximise retention.

Pocket Guides

Pocket Guides provide a ‘to the point’ summary of a specific topic that can be used to raise awareness and act as a reference.

There is no assessment or self-test, but a a printable checklist, guideline is provided. A Pocket Guide has been developed as a supplement to the e-learning modules.

The guidance they contain is ideal for users who need a fast and easy tool that can be accessed anytime and anywhere.

Let us show you how it works

Reflective learning

A reflective learning session is much more than just watching a film. With reflective learning, the group will discuss what they have just seen after each section of the learning film.

Each participant can contribute to the discussion and call on their experiences. The group can then consider how the topic relates to their everyday lives on board.

Reflecting in this way and discussing as a group will lead to a deeper and more rewarding learning experience.
