Wärtsilä Voyage’s NTPRO (Navi-Trainer Professional 5000) navigational simulator has actually acquired accreditation according to the brand-new DNV Class D criterion for cloud-based simulators– making it the very first qualified cloud service that provides both interactive instructor-led as well as student-led training. With this, the navigational simulator currently has complete conformity (Class A, B, C, D) with DNV’s ST-0033 Maritime Simulator Systems criterion.

As the maritime sector functions to determine what discovering occasions can be efficiently performed from another location as well as what needs a physical visibility or group communications at a training center, Wärtsilä Cloud remedies are licensed to give both the interactive workout control needed for required (STCW) training as well as assessment, along with the self-directed removed workout as well as analysis that can be taken on to boost or supplement Instructor regulated simulations.

Together these simulation remedies as well as connected value-added solutions gear up the training suppliers with all the devices required to create reliable as well as targeted mixed knowing training courses that can be thought about for the flag or various other sector authorizations.

“The Class D cloud simulator standards are essentially the same as the Class C classroom simulator standards. Since we use the same technology platforms in our Cloud Simulation solutions as we do for physical classroom Class C simulators, and provide both instructor-led as well as self-directed exercises, we already had all the necessary functionality to meet and exceed the simulator standards for STCW as well as more advanced training applications,” claims Johan Ekvall, Head of Product, Simulation as well as Training at Wärtsilä Voyage.

Moreover, Wärtsilä Voyage’s Cloud Simulation is a taken care of solution that has actually obtained Product Certification from DNV, implying that training suppliers utilizing the solution do not require to request a ‘Product Certificate’ themselves as they commonly perform with a physical simulator in their training centre.

Official acknowledgment of cloud-learning effectiveness

The rigorous lockdown steps throughout the pandemic sped up the fostering of cloud training solutions in the last one as well as a fifty percent years. And offered the massive versatility as well as performance it naturally develops, Wärtsilä Voyage anticipates cloud-based simulator remedies to end up being a market staple.

“The new standard for cloud training only further facilitates the realisation of the value created by remote simulation and learning. It represents a further positive step in the ongoing transition towards blended learning within the maritime educational industry, officially verifying that Wärtsilä online simulation meets or exceeds the already established, and globally recognised requirements for seafarer certification,” includes Ekvall.

“Enabling instruction and training courses via personal computers, laptops and mobile devices, from anywhere and at any time has considerably increased the possibilities for shipping companies, institutes and their learners, offering the utmost flexibility and efficiency in maritime training. We strongly believe blended learning platforms are the future of maritime training.”
