Strengthening their professional relationship with long time collaborator Gdynia Maritime School (GMS), this partnership offers seafarers an easy way to complete distance courses on-site, allowing them to be assessed and receive their approved course diploma on the same day.
"Being a privately owned maritime college with rights to educate and assess seafarers on all levels, GMS is a valuable partner for our company,” said Oscar Johansen, Seagull Maritime chairman and founder. “Since our two organisations were introduced in 1998, GMS have used all training content from Seagull, while providing expert assistance for the assessment of seafarers and the development of training materials.”
For years, Seagull Maritime has received requests to set up approved assessment centres in key areas throughout the world where many seafarers are based. This is a first initiative in a strategic decision made by the board to further strengthen Seagull’s position.
“Going forward with GMS as the first approved assessment centre was a natural choice for us,” said Johansen. “With GMS implementing the use of Seagull’s learning management system to keep track of student activities, assessments and certificates, we are very proud of this initiative and we have great expectations going forward.”
