The OBT-CBT

The OnBoard Training – Computer Based Training

Is a training program on the practicalities of onboard training. Computer based training has been developed as part of the project for anyone interested in the subject, but it is primarily aimed to supervisors of apprentices on vessels. However, we recommend that the training program will be completed by the entire vessels’ crew, as in practice, nearly every employee on board is in some way part of the apprentice’s training experience.

The program has been developed in both full and short versions. The short version is further divided into two parts (1/2 and 2/2) to make it easier to complete according to the tight schedule even on board. A certificate for the completed training can be downloaded from the last page of the program. Below are the links to the online version, or instructions for downloading the offline version if an internet connection is unavailable or insufficient for completing the online version.

We hope you enjoy the training!

The training program is planned by a project of all the Maritime Academies in Finland and HarjoitteluMylly. Several shipping companies, Traficom and Seafarer’s pension fund have also contributed to the project.

 

Check list for vessel’s DTO (Training supervisor onboard)

Check-list helps the training supervisor onboard to monitor the progress of the apprentice’s onboard training and to take into account important issues at each stage of the OBT. The PDF version of the check-list can be downloaded from the link below.

HAKE3 Project

Improving the quality of onboard training has been emphasized by domestic and European supervisory authorities. The quality of onboard training significantly impacts apprentices’ training experiences and their first impressions of working on a vessel. It also has a strong impact on apprentices’ decision to remain in the field and complete their studies. This is why the Hake3 project was launched in 2023.

All Finnish maritime schools, the Seamen’s Pension Fund, several shipping companies, and Merenkulun HarjoitteluMylly have participated in the project. The most significant output of the project is an interactive computer-based training (CBT) program, which is about an hour long. In addition, the OBT instructor’s manual has been updated in the project in co-operation with Traficom, including the rules of which determine the acceptance of the OBT. Based on the findings from discussions during the project, checklists have also been created for vessels, students, and shipping companies to help monitor the entire training process from start to finish.
