From verification to evidence-based assurance

Maritime organisations face growing pressure to prove that crews can perform safely in complex, high-risk environments. Regulators, charterers and operators now expect clear evidence of real operational competence in addition to certificates and course completions.

Our recent webinar last month brought together leaders in systems & assurance, human performance, and workforce & future skills to examine how Competency Management must evolve.

Beyond the CV, beyond the certificate

Our assessments reveal what qualifications cannot: how your people lead, decide, and respond under operational pressure. Whether you are preparing for SIRE 2.0, managing a promotion decision, or investigating team performance, we give you the structured, independent insight needed to act with clarity and confidence.

Revalidate, refresh, return with confidence

Designed for certified Dynamic Positioning Operators, our NI-accredited Dynamic Positioning (DP) Revalidation / DP Refresher and Competency Assessment course covers DP system fundamentals, power and thruster management, WSOG-based operational planning, and practical simulator assessment, giving DPOs everything they need to renew certification and step back into operations with full confidence.

Competency can't wait for the industry to catch up

For Van Oord, the introduction of methanol propulsion created an urgent training gap: no commercial programme existed that matched the complexity of their fleet or the requirements of the IGF Code. Rather than wait, they partnered with Maersk Training in Svendborg to build one from scratch: a rigorous, accredited, vessel-specific programme that set a new benchmark for competence development in alternative fuel operations.

The right skills for the most dangerous pull

Working with high-voltage cables during turbine installation demands more than mechanical awareness. It requires precise technique, clear team communication, and the confidence to act safely under operational pressure. Our GWO High Voltage Cable Pulling course, delivered in Esbjerg, takes technicians through the full process: component inspection, tool setup, cable handling, coordinated pulling procedures, and post-installation checks in realistic, instructor-assessed training conditions.

Train where you operate

The most effective training happens closest to the work itself. Our onboard training programmes bring certified instructors directly to your rig, vessel, or installation, delivering over 35 courses tailored to your operational reality, coordinated with your OIM or Master, and generating full audit-ready training reports on completion. Real-world learning, in your world, at your pace.

Know who can lift, and who is ready to

Offshore crane operations leave no margin for uncertainty, and a licence alone does not tell you who is truly ready to operate safely. Our Crane Competency Assessment Program (C-CAP) is our structured competency assessment programme for crane operators, deck supervisors, trainee operators, and rigging crews, combining written and practical assessments across both rigging and crane disciplines.

A complete approach to competence assurance

Proving competence takes more than training records. It requires a full journey, from setting the framework to showing it on deck. This is where we come in. We work with you to design competency frameworks and training matrices, carry out assessments, deliver the training itself, and track it all in our Competency Management System (CMS). This mix of technology and expertise means you get more than a system. You get a 360-degree approach to competence assurance that gives you confidence in audits, redeployments and daily operations.
