Crew training · After the survey

A crew in full command of its own systems.

The Trident survey shows exactly what is installed on board. We turn it into a training programme built for your vessel: by domain, by role, on the actual equipment — so the crew gains autonomy and simple faults get fixed without waiting for a technician.

Why train after the survey

The right moment to hand over

Crew rotations erase the vessel's technical memory. After the survey we know exactly which equipment, versions and interconnections are in place — so the training covers your installation, not a generic catalogue.

On the vessel's own equipment, not on a simulator.

Autonomy

Diagnose and resolve first-line faults without tying up the vessel.

Safety

Make full use of radar, AIS, alarms and CCTV, underway and at anchor.

Continuity

Hand over documented know-how at every crew change.

Guest experience

Automation, Wi-Fi and screens that work — and a crew that knows how to bring them back.

Tailored training

A programme built around your vessel

Based on the survey findings, we agree with the captain who needs to know what: deck officers, ETO, chief engineer, interior team. Each domain has its own training path.

Domain 1

Navigation & Communication

For: Captain, deck officers

Radar / ARPA settings and operation, AIS overlay
Navigation software, routes, alarms and autopilot
NMEA network: source checks, common faults, restart

Lead expert: Laurent Conso

Domain 2

IT & Connectivity

For: Captain, ETO, purser

Switching between Starlink, 4G/5G and VSAT, data plan monitoring
Crew and guest Wi-Fi, orderly restart, basic diagnostics
Backups, passwords and cyber good practice

Lead expert: Franck Lamberet

Domain 3

Audio-Visual & Automation

For: ETO, interior team

Driving scenes, sources and zones from the control interfaces
Bringing TV / satellite sources and screens back online
Simple checks before calling support

Lead expert: Benjamin Charron

Domain 4

CCTV, Access Control & Security

For: Captain, officers, ETO

Operating the NVR: searching and exporting footage
Managing badges and access rights
Alarms, intrusion detection and remote monitoring

Lead expert: Benjamin Charron

What the crew receives

Training that stays on board

Every session leaves practical material behind, matched to the vessel's actual installation.

Quick-reference cards

One card per key system: start-up, essential settings, what to do when it fails. Kept on the bridge or in the technical space.

First-line procedures

Simple troubleshooting trees for the most frequent faults, based on the vessel's survey.

Training material

Session content delivered in digital format, ready to add to the onboard documentation.

Hands-on practice

Exercises on the actual equipment, in port or at anchor, in small groups.

Certificate of attendance

A named certificate for each participant, stating content and duration.

Refresher sessions

A short session at each crew change or after a system upgrade.

Standard modules

Off-the-shelf modules, ready to schedule

For a fast skills upgrade on the technologies most often found on board, with or without a prior survey. Each module runs on board or in a classroom and is adapted to the group's level.

Navigation modules are familiarisation courses: they do not replace the regulatory training (STCW, GMDSS) required for certificates of competency.

Formats & organisation

Sessions of 2 to 6 people, on board or in a classroom, in English or French. Ideally in winter or before the season, around crew changes. Programme and price on quotation, depending on the number of participants, modules and location.
