Videotel Extends Its Lead in Maritime Training With Expanded Programmes
October 14 2015 - 9:30AM
VideotelTM, the leading international provider of e-Learning
maritime training solutions and a company of KVH Industries, Inc.,
(Nasdaq:KVHI), has launched its latest Videotel on Demand (VOD)
release, which includes a total of 59 e-Learning courses – 37 new,
22 updated – designed for the needs of today’s mariners.
Simultaneously, the new print edition of Videotel’s training
catalogue, STCW Maritime Training Catalogue 2015-2017, has been
released, detailing the complete Videotel selection of 950 new and
updated titles available in a range of formats. Videotel’s training
solutions are currently in use on more than 12,000 vessels
worldwide.
VOD is Videotel’s state-of-the art training system that allows
mariners to learn onboard, onshore, and online; it is available
either as a stand-alone system or in a network version, allowing
multiple users to train simultaneously on different e-Learning
courses via the ship’s network. The service helps address the
challenge of providing training for mariners, who spend extended
periods of time at sea.
Highlighting Videotel’s extensive portfolio of Standards of
Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW) training
programmes, the new printed catalogue serves as an essential
reference for ship owners and managers dedicated to providing
critically important training for seafarers. Videotel’s
computer-based training (CBT) programmes are included, an area that
boasts an impressive 500+ e-Learning courses, more than twice the
number of CBTs offered by competitors.
Videotel is known for the realistic and in-depth approach they
take in their training programmes, often partnering with leading
experts or agencies, and continually updating materials as
regulations and operational techniques change.
“We are very proud of our reputation in the shipping industry
for producing high-quality training materials,” says Nigel Cleave,
CEO of Videotel. “This is achieved by carefully researching our
programmes using hand-picked subject matter experts from all
sectors of the industry that make up our highly respected steering
committees. As appropriate, we aim to film on ships or provide 3D
animation in order not only to drill down into the subject matter,
but also to give the programmes a very realistic feel.”
