| COMPANY
TRAINING COURSES |
| ICS are happy to
adapt any of its current courses for in-house training, or design an
entire bespoke training package to suit a company's individual needs.
We can support a wide variety of commercial shipping subjects across a
range of chartering, agency and management disciplines. These
comprehensive packages use blended learning techniques, integrating a
range of presentation, online support, distance learning, reading
material and interactive workshops made to suit your company's
requirements. |
| BESPOKE
PACKAGES |
ICS can
provide fully customised professional development courses for
companies upon request. By design these courses are entirely directed
by the company and seek to impart the knowledge and expertise your
staff require, drawing on a range of interactive resources. The ICS
specialise in courses for induction level training, right through to
specialist support to assist with membership. From one day courses, to
comprehensive programmes that professionally develop employees over
several years, the ICS is happy to work with you to identify and
comprehensively support your company's requirements. Alternatively the
ICS can run it's Maritime World Explained course as an in-house course.

| THE
PROCESS |
By design
every company is different and therefore
every
bespoke course is inherently unique. There are however some
common
elements in the process of developing a bespoke course. The first
step is to
arrange a meeting/phone call and give us
a brief on what you have in mind. From there we take away
the
information we have given you and come back with some options for
you.
When we establish which one is the best, we will submit a proposal to
you for
approval.
Once everything is ready
to go, we’ll provide you with
a comprehensive outline including learning objectives for the course to
ensure
that your company is entirely happy with the content. From there
an ICS
approved lecturer will work to develop the course for delivery.
Most of
our bespoke packages tend to be highly interactive. They seek to
include
(where appropriate) role plays, multi-media presentation, group
activities,
problem solving scenarios and formative assessment (informal testing to
ensure
participants are really learning). |
