Crew Training

The Crew Training module manages the planning, scheduling, and recording of all training activities for your seafarer pool, ensuring compliance with STCW training requirements and company-specific competency standards.

Training Types & Categories

Training is organized into configurable categories: STCW mandatory courses (BST, AFF, MEFA, Medical Care, GMDSS), specialized training (ECDIS type-specific, DP certification, IGF Code), tanker training (oil, chemical, gas), company-specific courses, and flag-state requirements. Each training type defines its validity period and renewal requirements.

Completion Records

Every training course completed by a seafarer is recorded with the training provider, date, certificate number, and expiry date. These records integrate directly with the certification tracking module, ensuring that training-dependent certificates are flagged when underlying training expires.

Compliance Verification

The system cross-references each seafarer's training records against the requirements for their rank, vessel type, and flag state. A compliance matrix shows at a glance which crew members need additional training before they can be deployed, integrated with the crew-compliance verification package used throughout E-CMS.

Training Planning

Shore-based training managers can plan training sessions, assign seafarers to courses, and track attendance. Training cost tracking and budget management help optimize training spend across the crew pool.
