Customised training programmes

Having a group of professionals with many years of experience at sea and in developing and conducting training programmes, we also offer training programmes customised to suit the client's requirements.

The process usually involves:

Interaction with the client to understand the objectives.
Collecting relevant materials required over and above that which is available at IMTC's knowledge base.
Visit to client's vessels to study the equipment/system and have discussions with the staff.
Preparation of the course material, vetting by the clients and conduct of the programme.

Methodology

Design and Development

Comprising a team of professionals, the course design groups work closely with the end users, incorporating practical solutions where needed. Training gaps are identified from discussions with target groups and guidelines from standard model courses all form the input necessary for designing the programmes.Practical sessions are integrated with theoretical discussion where possible to ensure a better understanding of concepts.

Conduct of Programmes

Learning requires an open mind, motivation, and a desire to participate and share. The highly experienced faculty members at IMTC openly share their knowledge and experience and can draw the best from the participants. The optimum number of participants and sufficient equipment/workstations allow each participant to work independently. An integral evaluation method or a test at the end of the programme helps in evaluating the knowledge/skill enhancement.

Feedback and Upgrading

In a dynamic world, change is the only constant and so it is with the courses offered at IMTC. New knowledge, changing regulations, feedback from the participants, challenging queries from highly experienced peers etc. keep the course designers working continuously to upgrade courses and make them more contemporary. Feedback from participants after a period of returning to actual workplace is valued for identifying gaps in transfer of knowledge.
