Martime Services: ISPS
Training:
Introduction.
The training of all personnel is a requirement of the ISPS / MTSA regulations and all employees need to be aware of basic security considerations, not only for their personal safety but that of others and the vessel or facility.
Securewest International¹s training is interesting, thought provoking and presented in an understandable manner that will ultimately give all concerned confidence in the security of the vessel or facility.
All relevant courses meet or exceed IMO guidelines and where applicable are approved by DNV/MARAD or the UK Maritime Coastguard Agency.
The Enhanced Learning Credit Administration Service (ELCAS) has approved a number of our ISPS courses so that subscribed UK Armed Forces personnel, past and present, are able to utilise their full allowance of ELC in order to gain maximum benefit from maritime training, and therefore value from their credits.
