E-Learning

 options that allow the development of very effective training programs. Interactive training is the delivery and management of training via CD-ROM, intranet and Internet. Digital movies, animation, graphics and sound develop interest, increase participant attention span and leave a multi-sensory lasting impression. The trainee actively participates in the training/learning sessions by means of a user-friendly interface that empowers the participant with a sense of control over what they are learning and the pace at which they are learning. Repetition, in whole or in part, replaces stress with enjoyment and challenge at a fraction of the cost of traditional approaches. Interactive training does not replace hands-on training but powerfully augments it. Among the many benefits of interactive training is the provision of field managers with a training tool to enhance their activities as local trainers in the training of field workers.

QUALITY The training materials have been prepared by internationally recognized leaders in oil spill response training who have conducted many hundreds of courses worldwide. USER FLEXIBILITY Users can take the course at one session or can progress on a step-by-step basis through the individual modules and spread the training over a period of time. CERTIFICATION The Knowledge Test can be taken over the Internet to obtain a Course Completion Certificate. This test can be configured so that one individual can participate as part of a standardized company-wide certification program. ADAPTATION The contents of the training course can be tailored to meet the requirements of a specific location or type of operation such as offshore operations, onshore operations, marine oil spills, or river oil spills.
