Apr 15 2021 Stream Marine Training (SMT) and the University of Gibraltar have formed a collaborative partnership to provide MCA approved STCW courses and technical training for maritime students completing the new BSc (Hons) Maritime Science with Cadetship Programmes and seafarers. The University has established the Gibraltar Maritime Academy and has the local resources required to teach trainees key skills such as fire-fighting techniques, which form part of the MCA approved fire-fighting courses. SMT will offer its expertise in the form of its MCA approved online safety critical courses and advice from its trainers, many of whom are ex-mariners, who can relate the theory to real-life situations at sea.
Apr 09 2021 Two maritime training companies, Marine Learning Systems of Vancouver and Stream Marine Training of Glasgow, are collaborating to provide an “end to end maritime training solution” – combining e-learning and in-person learning to make a company wide learning management system. Shipping companies have responsibility for ensuring their crews are competent at any time. There is a large gap between achieving that, and deciding which training courses they should be sent on. The collaboration between Marine Learning Systems of Vancouver and Marine Training of Glasgow aims to fill that gap. Marine Learning Systems provides a platform which shipping companies can use to manage their entire training needs at a fleet, vessel or individual crew member level.
Stream Marine Training and Stellamar Partnership Drives Seafarer Recruitment and Training
Stream Marine Training (SMT) and global recruitment provider Stellamar have formed a strategic partnership to improve seafarers’ career prospects and training needs.
Southampton based Stellamar has close links with the maritime industry, especially in the cruise, port operations and super yacht sectors, and has an in-depth knowledge of the specialist skills and attributes required by crew to fill many of the technical roles in these areas. It has a rigorous selection process and recommends SMT as its preferred provider of MCA STCW approved training courses to candidates that need to update their mandatory safety critical training to ensure they can carry out their roles in a professional and competent manner.
Stream Marine Training gains ISO 9001 Certification
Stream Marine Training (SMT) is delighted to announce that it has gained ISO 9001 quality management system certification after a detailed audit conducted by accredited certification body DNV GL.
ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized standard of consistency and competency using robust quality management systems designed to encourage continuous improvement and deliver good customer service.
Following a major re-structure of the business, the senior management team at SMT felt that it was important to refine its processes, systems and procedures to mitigate business risks and improve the overall customer experience, especially as the company had to quickly adapt to offering an online teaching element to some of its courses to offset the travel restrictions brought about by the coronavirus pandemic.
