SIMULATION TRAINING
Not only do these roles cover the obvious ones such as wind turbine manufacture and vessel operation and maintenance, but also the onshore and offshore support jobs, providing portside services and logistics. That’s why the Grimsby Institute and the Humber LEP have joined forces to create Modal Training, a centre of excellence for the energy, ports and logistics industries.
Although Modal Training will be based in Immingham, at the heart of the Humber region, it will serve a much wider area – with state-of-the-art facilities and a wide variety of courses delivered by experts – all under one roof. This centralises training for businesses who often have more than one requirement, or who are part of a supply chain with multimodal disciplines needing more consistency and connectivity between them.
Simulated training is safe, effective and cost efficient. The Kongsberg simulators will enable Modal to offer training that effectively replicates the working environment. With accurate real-time physics and hydrodynamic modelling, ships and equipment behave exactly as they would during operations, making Kongsberg simulator training as close as you can get to being out at sea.
This simulation will cater for a wide range of maritime roles, including bridge crews, navigators, maritime engineers and Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) operators. Each part of the simulator system can be operated independently, or be interconnected to provide full vessel operation exercises for an entire crew.
KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING AND PROFICIENCY THROUGH E-LEARNING International conventions for seafarer training set out three facets of learning – Knowledge, Understanding and Proficiency (KUP). Modal’s method of seafarer training blends e-learning with the more practical elements in simulator and experiential learning on board vessels in a real environment.
Online learning allows individuals to educate themselves at their own pace, removing the need to attend physical classes. This reduces training costs and facilitates training which can be tailored to specific needs.
BASIC SEA SAFETY
Safety is paramount when it comes to those employed on a vessel – whether you are out at sea, or loading a ship dockside. Modal Training will be delivering a comprehensive range of Standards of Training, Certification and Watch-keeping for Seafarers (STCW) entry level courses. This provides those with the basic training required to work at sea, in accordance with section A-VI/1 of the STCW.
STATE-OF-THE-ART SIMULATION Modal Training has invested in a simulation suite from Kongsberg Marine, the global leader in marine training technology, which will provide Europe’s first dedicated simulator training for offshore wind.
In addition to the basic proficiency are courses on: maritime security; fire- fighting and fire prevention; first aid and medical care; crowd management; crisis management; personal safety; survival; rescue boats.
LEADING THE WAY
Management is crucial when at sea. To maximise seafaring safety, Modal will be offering the Human Element Leadership and Management Level Theory (HELM) qualification. The aim of the course is to give all officers the education and training in the human element leadership and management at operational level.
For example, Modal will offer a blended approach to Dynamic Positioning (DP) training - a fundamental concept in operating offshore vessels safely. The training model will provide space for distance learning aligned with both collective simulator and experiential development.
