Business sustainability using continuous training solutions helps companies to embrace a culture of “investing in people”. Companies invest in training their employees rather than hiring new people which can be much more costly on different levels. Most companies nowadays want to invest in retaining their people – and developing that pool – so they keep employees well trained and up-to-date so that they can respond to the company’s ever-changing needs.
The main benefit of online training when it comes to maritime safety and compliance is that employees can be reached everywhere, all over the world, at any time.
Every company should provide career development paths and the required learning programs that will enable the employees to develop the necessary knowledge and skills.
The data exchange between vessels and ashore systems has greatly increased in the past years as well as the need for training seafarers and ashore personnel for cyber security threats. SQLearn has developed an e-learning course that covers the most important aspects of Cyber Security and is address to both seafarers (mainly officers) and ashore personnel.
SQLearn is sponsoring the 2nd Ship IT Conference that will take place on Thursday, September 29, 2016 at the Benaki Museum Amphitheatre, 138 Pireos Street.

Traditional learning is expensive, takes a long time and results can vary. E-learning is faster, cheaper and provides a high return of investment.
