used onboard ship or ashore and is designed for individual self-study. Users’ data
can be exported and imported if they move location.
It can also be used to provide training for all on board and is accredited by the

Course Contents
The course contains 4 Sections, a set of Project Files, a Test and a Reference Library.
The four Sections are:
Getting Organised
Think Safe, Be Safe
Safe Place to Work and Live
When Things Go Wrong
Each Section is divided into Modules relevant to the Section topic. They require the
user to watch video clips, answer questions and enter text. Each Module takes about
30 minutes to complete and incorporates a Workbook for recording relevant
information.
At the end of each Module there is a quiz to test knowledge of the material within the
Module. All except two Modules also have Project Files which require the user to
apply the knowledge they have just acquired within the context of their ship’s
operations.
There is a Test covering material from all Sections of the course and a Reference
Library which lists other useful sources of information, such as relevant videos and
helpful websites.
For individuals or companies who require it, certification is also available and details
of this process are contained within the CD or can be obtained from the Videotel
website.
