DNV GL’s Maritime Academy Hellas is offering on 9 March 2016, a new one-day workshop (09:30 – 17:00) on the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) for crew managers.

Content
This module reflects the tasks and responsibilities of personnel management in shipping companies and crewing agencies who need to have a deep understanding of the training and certification requirements of the seafarers employed in order to choose the best qualified personnel.
This objective is achieved by exploring and discussing the detailed requirements of STCW. Firstly the requirements sorted by rank will come under close examination. The training contents and the resulting certificates will be evaluated in more detail.
Then some more general questions relating to familiarisation and training on board will also be raised and clarified.
This course includes practical case studies and interactive exercises to achieve the desired learning outcome for the participants.
