How MTI Network Joined Seably to get Vital Media Training Straight into the Hands of Seafarers!

News|05 April 2023

MTI Network is a global specialist providing risk management and crisis response in the shipping, energy and offshore sectors.

MTI Network wanted to ensure their media awareness courses reached a wider audience.

MTI Network approached us here at Seably because they had several important media awareness courses that they hosted on their own website and wanted to share with a wider audience. They wanted a digital training platform for the maritime sector that was cost-effective and accessible, aligned with their quality ethos, and able to get their courses directly into the hands of the seafarers that need them most.

With an intuitive course-building tool and exceptionally high standards of quality, due to our DNV and ISO certifications, as well as over 80,000 seafarers and maritime industry professionals active on the Seably Platform, we were a natural fit.

MTI Network described the experience of onboarding with Seably as “seamless”, and we would be inclined to agree.

Luckily, when they approached us at the end of 2022, they had already created the course content for their own site. All they had to do to get the ball rolling was to open a free Teach on Seably account and start using our intuitive course builder to import the data, images and video they had ready to go.

As soon as they were happy to proceed with the course, they sent it in and our content team started their quality checks by reviewing the course and getting straight in touch with the team at MTI Network with feedback and instructions on taking things to the next stage.

Quality Courses for our Seafarers

We hold our quality standards extremely highly, and because of our DNV certification, we have strict criteria providers need to meet. This covers many elements of what we do, from how to manage our courses to course content, making sure it’s accessible, that videos are clear and audio is correct. Learning modules should not be too long and should be as interactive as possible to improve retention. We fact-check every element ensuring it is providing correct information and is up to the latest instruments, conventions and regulations and no breach of copyright. The list goes on!

If any of the criteria aren’t met or if we can suggest a way to enhance the course, we will support the course provider to make the changes or make them free of charge in-house. We always have the ultimate goal of improving safety and wellbeing for seafarers in our minds. It stands to reason that the more memorable and better the learning experience is, the more the seafarer will benefit from the end result.

MTI Network specialise in media courses for seafarers.

The MTI Network course was already full of excellent video content. We made sure the course fitted our system and vamped up the video with small introductions for each module to aid learning throughout.

Just like that, it was ready to go!

What Happens When the Course is Live?

Now that the course is live, MTI Network is monitoring progress, data and feedback through our new Dashboard feature that will be rolled out to all content providers soon.

Naturally, we keep an eye on things too,  regularly reviewing content and fact-checking. Between us, we can see if there are any problem areas where learners are getting stuck, check that people are completing the certification and importantly, make sure they are happy with the course and give it a 5 STAR review!

The Seafarer Media Training course is receiving 5 star reviews.

So far so good with the reviews on this course, and we have just launched MTI Network’s next course Media Training for Shoreside Staff!
