The online version of this popular course is now available to sign up. Please email Courses@nautinst.org for further information and to register your interest.
The course is divided into five modules for easy accessibility. Together, these cover the same material as the face to face course, exploring key issues in risk management and providing practical advice and knowledge. Each of the modules lasts three hours, and you can sign up for each module separately (please see the drop down menus below for further information on the modules covered).
Who are these courses aimed at? The Human Element One-Day Online Modules are aimed at all participants within the maritime industry! Active mariners (officers and crew) will gain a better understanding of risk management practice and the relevant human element impacts. Shore-based marine managers, especially those in the HR and Safety disciplines, will be able to use this information to better manage risk management practice on board.
What will participants take away from these courses? These short courses are focused on various aspects of risk, and the human element impact on risk. Together, they will provide a comprehensive introduction and best practice guidance into risk management practice, as well as an introduction to the human element.
