Seafarers registering for offshore roles with crewing specialists Offshore Operations will now benefit from a 10% discount on UK-based commercial seafarer courses.
Crew Training Solutions, which offers a range of STCW courses from its Grimsby training centre, has partnered with CSO Marine Group to make it easier for seafarers to access new training opportunities while looking for offshore roles.
“It’s well publicised how many new roles are required to grow offshore wind in Europe,” said Mark Hudson, Director of Crewing at Offshore Operations. “But the key to this growth is learning and development, which some candidates may not fully appreciate until they try to break into the industry or move into a more senior role.”
“Making high-quality offshore training courses, such as those offered by Crew Training Solutions, more accessible is an important step forward for the industry.”
Crew Training Solutions offers MCA Approved STCW courses across various seafarer disciplines, including Personal Survival Techniques, Elementary First Aid, Medical First Aid & Master 200gt / OOW.
“As proud members of the International Association of Maritime Institutions, we are committed to training the next generation of seafarers,” said Jon Geddes, Managing Director/Owner of Crew Training Solutions. “This new partnership with CSO Marine Group will enable us to open our course offering to a wider group of seafarers looking to improve their skills and knowledge.”
