Company History

Videotel began making training products for the marine industry in 1973. Major shipping companies needed to improve their onboard training, and the IMCO* wished to see high quality training materials supplied to maritime colleges, particularly in developing countries.

Originally, we produced films and supporting booklets. However, over our 30 plus years in the industry, our format range has expanded to include VHS, DVDs, VCDs, CD-ROMs, CBT (Computer Based Training), and online training solutions.

Our product range is now well over 600, and we continue to update this as regulations and operational techniques change. We ensure we have global contact with the industry through a dedicated group of worldwide representatives and offer our products in many different languages.

We make our programmes through careful research and dedicated filming, which wherever possible is on board. With every production, our experienced in-house staff ensure quality by consulting experts from the industry at every step.

Amongst our general titles, we provide specialist programmes for oil, gas and chemical tankers, container, refrigerated cargo, passenger and RO-RO ships, offshore operations, pilots, surveyors, port and terminal operators and more. We have also extended our range to tailored management services, to help you keep on top of training records.

We do our very best to provide quality solutions to meet your training needs. This is why we offer so many different titles, formats and languages. However, if there’s anything you cannot find, or you require alternative arrangements, please contact us and we’ll do everything we can to help.
