UK MCA selects OTG as eLearning partner

The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has agreed a deal with Ocean Technologies Group (OTG) to supply eLearning courses for its marine surveyors, following the completion of a tender process.

The three-year contract, which has the option of being extended for up to two further years, will provide on demand remote training content for MCA marine surveyors covering the basics of MARPOL regulations, enclosed space entry awareness and ship security officer training.

“We’re delighted that the MCA has entrusted us with training their marine surveyors and that we were able to demonstrate full compliance with all of the tender’s requirements,” said Raal Harris, Chief Creative Officer for OTG.

“At OTG, we firmly believe that we are now in an era of lifelong learning and all areas of our industry can benefit from access to on demand learning resources that can be used to support maritime professionals in the flow of work.”
