In today’s maritime industry there is an ever increasing breadth of subject areas about which Superintendents must not only be aware but must have an understanding, so that reasoned decisions can be made quickly. Lloyd’s Register’s Superintendent training programme provides a solid foundation for developing experience for Superintendents.

 

The modular format of the Superintendent training programme is a blend of e-learning and classroom modules, allowing freedom and flexibility of choice of when and where to undertake the learning. 

 

The e-learning, in the form of electronic magazines, can be completed anywhere and at any time and the prestigious classroom-based modules have the added benefit of face-to-face contact with experienced Lloyd’s Register trainers and other learners. 

 

The electronic magazines blend together audio visual material, coursework, reading and exercises in an easily absorbed style.  You will view videos and listen to audio from Lloyd’s Register’s top experts and experienced ex-superintendents, in a wide range of topics including making the transition from a ship-based role to a shore-based role, STCW, health and safety, emergency planning, and others. 

 

The subjects and scope of the programme are decided by the learner. With the e-magazines at its core, you then select between five and ten additional classroom modules, dependent on your individual learning needs.
