Foreword by the Chairman of Videotel Marine International

Distance Learning Programs offer a number of benefits to you as clients and cover areas such as Tanker Familiarization and the specialized safety courses for Oil, Gas and Chemical vessels. The advantages of following such courses are that they are devised, produced, delivered and monitored by leading international lecturers and trainers. The cost effectiveness of following such courses at sea on board ship or offshore installations or ashore in your training colleges, company offices or private home is evident when it is remembered that such courses can be used as an application for re-issued tanker endorsement requirements. If a course is approved, this certificate can be issued by Videotel on behalf of various flag states.

Educational material can be delivered on a variety of platforms to suit your needs, Video-led, CBT, VCD, and DVD, many with accompanying booklets and in PAL/NTSC. In addition we can supply our new Videotel On Demand [VOD] system, our stand alone system which gives you access to a whole new world of training, giving your crew easier access than ever before to the entire Videotel library of training programs and courses.

On-going training and new programs are made available on an annual basis with many new and exciting areas being covered. The latest information for what is available can be found on our web site. We offer a ‘demonstration’ option for our programs and this is a facility that you should use.

Training is changing and the responsibility for this now rests with each person. We can now offer a ‘One Stop Solution’ for taking care of your Training and Assessment requirements throughout the ‘Videotel Competency Management ‘system. Through this we can manage your training and remedy weaknesses to strengthen crew competency and enhance performance.

E-learning is becoming more widely used and our web site has been designed to support the increasing function and needs of our clients. Our systems not only become a reference for our programs, but also a portal to deliver all your training requirements.

Learning is not only the responsibility of the company but also the individual. The management of risk not only protects the investment but also the individual and the environment. In order to assist with this we have a world-wide system of Agents to support you but also we provide our programs in a number of languages (click here).
