Advances
in interactive multimedia and Internet technologies present an array of
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.

administrative and management support by automatically
measuring and recording various data relevant to the progress of
trainees.

INNOVATION
IOSTC training applications have been developed to provide a flexible
approach to oil spill response training. Courses can be used by an
individual or can be set up to provide a standard company-wide training
program. The individual user is assigned a unique password so that only
that person can access their individual training file.
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.
