Incident Investigation (Immersive Learning)

Who is the course for? 

This course is designed for all seafarers, regardless of rank. It is ideal for anyone interested in understanding and preventing incidents through immersive, scenario-based learning.

Is previous experience required? 

No previous experience is required. This course is suitable for both new and experienced maritime professionals, as it focuses on decision-making, risk awareness, and behaviour under pressure rather than theoretical knowledge alone. It is highly recommended that this course be taken alongside SBLY-2548 Stowage, Handling and Securing of Steel Plates (Incident Investigation), which covers the specific incident in detail, providing a solid understanding of the actual events.

What standards are referenced in the course?
