What we do
Working with our Clients
Seamanship begins
each new project with a detailed discussion where we ask many
questions and listen carefully to the answers.
We build up a picture of the client's
training needs and the corporate objectives they support.
Existing training materials are
reviewed and if appropriate built in to the suggested
solution.
Getting it right...
We work with the
client to ensure that key messages are not lost and that what is
important is fully conveyed to the user.
Working through available subject
materials we distil the key facts and agree how understanding of
them can be assessed.
Finally we agree the best and most
appropriate mechanism for provision of both the materials and the
assessment.
Creating the material...
Next we design and
prepare the training materials or the project items in the best
manner to suit the audience and their varied need. This could
be:
- Printed materials
such as books
- multimedia rich
CBT
- question
database's
- any other effective
means arrived at that will best implement your training
message.
Often it is found
that a combination of material types will provide the best
solution.
Information Gathering...
Any system that creates usable information
is likely to be only as good as the interpretation of the data that
is out-putted. Seamanship uses software to collect and distribute
the data gathered and where appropriate reports, print outs or
search filters will be provided.
Teaching Approach...
It is believed that there is no single
approach that advances a student’s understanding better than
all other. However, it is recognised that certain design
principles are important:
- Content should be built around the
necessary material
- Always focus on what is worth
understanding
- Clarify the way in which the knowledge is
to be subsequently used
- Provide assessment that gives
feedback
Measuring
Effectiveness...
Training systems work best when
implemented as part of a wider program that is backed by feedback
and follow up.
Seamanship will work with the client
to implement an assessment system suited to need. This could be any
one of, or a combination of, the following:
- Basic multiple choice
- instructor led interactive
study
- intelligent assessment systems that allow
for free text entry of answers
A
Successful Project is Achieved:
- When your corporate
objectives are met
- when your line
managers fully support the project
- when your
management team onboard are in support
- when your officers
and crew fully support the project and recognise the company's
commitment to their development.
