Audience one

Professional and institutional training.

For the people already inside maritime, and the institutions that regulate and enable it. This is our registered training provision: the programmes, the assessment, the certification and the quality system documented in our institutional training profile.

01 / Who it is for

The functions we train.

Professionals, managers and technical personnel, and the organisations that employ them.

  • Ports and terminals

    Management, operations and business-process owners, and the security personnel and incident responders who work alongside them.

  • Shipping and chartering

    Ship owning, operating, agency and chartering businesses: chartering and operations personnel, brokers, owners, charterers and commercial managers.

  • Freight and logistics

    Freight forwarding and logistics businesses, and the trade facilitation functions that sit around them.

  • Banking, insurance and investment

    Lenders, insurers, claims personnel and investment teams exposed to ship finance, marine risk and the blue economy.

  • Public administration and regulators

    Maritime authorities, trade and standards agencies, and the public administration functions that interface with the sector.

  • Legal, advisory and academic

    Lawyers and in-house counsel, advisory services, universities and professional bodies.

02 / The portfolio

Five programmes, one per training pillar.

  • Maritime law

    Maritime Law and Shipping Contracts

    The legal framework a shipping transaction actually runs on: the contracts that carry it, the claims that arise from it, and the mechanisms that resolve them.

    Cyber Security for Ports and Port SystemsFlagship

04 / Formats and delivery

How a programme actually runs.

  • Three delivery modes

    Face-to-face, synchronous virtual, or blended. The mode is agreed per cohort alongside contact hours, trainer assignment, venue or platform and attendance controls.

  • Away from the workplace

    Face-to-face delivery runs away from the workplace, at a dedicated conference venue, so a nominated cohort is not interrupted by the job it is being trained for.

  • Multi-agency cohorts

    Where institutions want peer exchange, a cohort can be drawn from several organisations facing the same problem.

  • Duration follows outcomes

    Programme length is set by the learning outcomes, not the other way round. Executive formats run short; a full programme runs as long as its assessment requires.

Bring us a capability gap, not a course title.

In-company delivery starts from an agreed training-needs assessment. Tell us what your people have to be able to do and we will tell you which programme closes it, and whether it needs adapting first.
