Glowing Feedback for Train the Trainer Course in Tuvalu

We always love to receive feedback following our training courses at the Maritime Skills Academy and we felt this one deserved a special mention as it comes from over 9,000 miles away in Tuvalu!

Recently Paul Russell, an MSA Consultant Instructor conducted our Train the Trainer Course, which is accredited by the UK Chamber of shipping via virtual classroom to 3 delegates on the Island of Tuvalu.

Here is what they had to say, 

“On behalf of my Team here in Tuvalu, I would like to thank you for your good time in delivering this Train The Trainer course and also in taking into account the time differences we had. The course was excellent and well delivered. The training course is useful especially for our team where we can look into areas that are lacking and identify the  gaps needed to be addressed accordingly.

I would also like to thank Polly for her kind assistance and support in the arrangement of this course and especially in making things easier in responding well to our email when we really need help. I believe without Polly kind assistance and support we couldn’t reach this final point in completing this course.

Thank you Polly. Once again, Thank you all for your great support.”

Tuvalu is an island country in the Polynesian subregion of Oceania in the Pacific Ocean. It’s islands are situated about midway between Hawaii and Australia. The Tuvalu Maritime Training Institute (TMTI) is on Amatuku motu, on Funafuti atoll in Tuvalu. TMTI provides training to approximately 120 marine cadets each year, to provide them with the basic skills necessary for employment as seafarers on merchant shipping. 

 

New Online Booking Platform Introduced

The MSA team have listened to feedback from delegates and as a result have introduced a brand new online booking platform.

The new online booking platform for training courses will change the users experience significantly. It will ensure everyone encounters a much more streamline experience. 

Course dates are now easier to view, with the option to search in chronological order or by course category. Bookings can be made with just a few simple clicks, making it very much a user-friendly system. 

However, we believe the most significant improvement is that delegates now have their own personal online portal. Booked courses can be viewed on the portal, along with all course joining instructions. 

This is an exciting development for the MSA and another example of how they are continually striving to improve the delegates training experience, even before they join a course!

With training centres in Portsmouth and Dover, we offer simulator training in BRM, ship handling, tug operations, Polar Code and Engine Simulator training in ERM, High Voltage, plus STCW Safety, commercial Fire, medical, GWO and Hospitality training.
