Mintra has announced a partnership with PaleBlue, a developer of training and simulation systems, to introduce new gamification-based maritime training courses to reinforce knowledge retention among students.
The new range of gamified courses will be made available through Mintra’s Trainingportal Learning and Competency Management System and through the company’s website. Designed specifically for the oil and gas sector, the courses are currently available in English and Norwegian, with maritime-specific versions set to launch by the end of September 2024.
Titles cover safety-critical topics such as Confined Spaces and Working at Height, as well as Work Authorisation/Work Permit Training. The courses merge traditional training modules with game-design elements, such as scoring points, leaderboards, and interactive challenges.
“We are thrilled to welcome PaleBlue to our growing portfolio of over 64 training providers. Their innovative, gamified approach aligns perfectly with our agnostic approach to providing a go-to platform for cutting-edge safety-critical training technologies,” said Torbjørg Undem, Mintra’s Marketplace Manager.
“These new gamified courses further expand Mintra’s service offering and allow learners to immerse themselves in virtual environments, collaborate with digital co-workers, and address real-world challenges in a controlled, risk-free setting.”
“This method shifts the focus from rote memorisation to active problem-solving, ensuring that learners not only understand safety protocols but can also apply them effectively in real-world scenarios.”
