Building structure for better skills & competence

Unicrew Management’s training policy is a lifelong learning programme supported by the various training centres worldwide that deliver regular and customized training modules and competency evaluations to achieve the safety and regulatory requirements of our crew. At the centre of all training and professional development initiatives is raising a crew pool that is responsive and knowledgeable of today’s vessel operations. We provide bespoke training at all our main recruitment markets in the Philippines, Romania, Poland, Croatia, the Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania and Montenegro. We have made considerable investments to equip and upgrade our training facilities in Manila as well as recruit qualified trainers and instructors to ensure our clients are getting qualified and competent personnel for their ships. But the learning process is no longer a classroom-centric activity, as the 2020 pandemic has shown us. Keeping in mind the emerging challenges of restricted movement, our learning methodologies are now undergoing a rapid transformation, adopting technology aided innovation for faster outcomes. Besides e-learning and remote training, we are now focusing on micro-training and on-the-job learning programmes in which each new crew member spends a part of the working day in working under the tutelage of a senior colleague and onboard teacher. While e-learning or remote education give seafarers an opportunity to bridge their knowledge gaps during shore leave, the onboard learning initiative helps mentor each crew member according to their training needs.
