How will the course benefit me?

Self-sufficiency involves the capacity to think and act without anyone's help or influence, the confidence in one's ability to accomplish tasks, and the resourcefulness to come up with solutions without consulting others. This course presents the perfect opportunity for you as a seafarer to be proactive and showcase that you are ready to meet the industry's modern-day demands.

How will the course benefit my company?

Employers are now incorporating seafarer’s soft skills into their crewing decisions. The soft, ‘non-technical skills’ are increasingly important on board due to the rapidly changing workforce and automation of technical tasks. Additionally, maritime accident investigations indicate that a lack of soft skills and human error is the most common reason behind accidents at sea.

Skulderbredden måles av sertifisert personell i henhold til retningslinjer gitt av The passenger size working group, The helicopter safety steering group og Step Change in Safety.

Etter at deltaker er målt, blir vedkommende kategorisert i en av to kategorier – Non Extra Broad (ikke ekstra bredskuldret) eller Extra Broad (ekstra bredskuldret).

Er man ikke ekstra bredskuldret kan man sitte der man ønsker i helikopteret, mens de som blir kategorisert som ekstra bredskuldret får designerte plasser i helikopteret, da med store vinduer som nødutgang.

Skulderbredden måles på bar hud, så deltaker må ha på seg t-skjorte/singlet for selve målingen.

The course covers the following topics:

- Agreement on Inclusive Working Conditions
- Working environment and prevention
- Absence

At the beginning of the course you can take a pre-test, where you get the opportunity to show your skills. If you pass the pre-test, you do not have to go through the entire course.

Failing organizations are usually over-managed and under-led.
