CCM (CONTINUING COMPETENCY MANAGER)CCM - The easy to use, one-stop solution for Management of Training, Assessment and Record Keeping

accessed via webFTA.

 

COMPETENCY MATTERS

Seafarer competence impacts on every shipping company, and is a critical factor in ensuring safe, efficient and

cost-effective operation of ships the world over.

COMPLEX TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

As technical developments progress, it is now becoming a legal requirement that seafarer competence is

developed, maintained and above all, recorded. Increasingly, companies need help and advice in getting the best

training solutions to suit their individual requirements, enabling them to build their own Continuous Professional

Development (CPD) programmes.

VIDEOTEL'S CCM PROVIDES THE SOLUTION

Developed and perfected over 5 years, Videotel's Continuing Competency Manager (CCM) uses cloud-based

technology to provide continuous training and assessment available directly through our webFTA portal.

Videotel's suite of training programmes combine seamlessly to provide an easy-to-use, one-stop solution for the

management of training, assessment and record keeping - online, onboard and onshore.

EMPOWERING COMPANIES TO TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR OWN CPD PROGRAMMES

CCM provides individual companies with competency profiles for seafarers from the beginning of their maritime

career and tracks, monitors and assesses their progression as they move from ship to ship or ship to shore. It is

also the perfect tool to develop CPD programmes.

TOP QUALITY EDUCATION AND TRAINING

The latest multi-media training materials are used to provide a completely blended training approach that can be

accessed online, onboard and onshire. Challenging training with random questions ensure seafarers actually

learn and remember. The ability to study either onboard on onshore allows for flexible learning and the stimulating

learning environment reduces the risk of training becoming no more than a 'tick box' exercise.
