- Sharing maritime expertise and knowledge is the goal’, says Paul Shrieve, President of BV Solutions M&O (BVS)
- The BVS eAcademy is providing a tried and tested – and affordable, maritime education that is now ready for the global maritime market
Paris La Défense, July 21, 2020 – Bureau Veritas (BV) has launched the BVS eAcademy to provide online learning to a global audience. The eAcademy is led by BV Solutions M&O (BVS) – the Technical Advisory, Asset Management and Assurance Solutions provider dedicated to Marine and Offshore Energy Markets.
Offering more than 25 maritime courses, BVS eAcademy was developed from BV’s own internal training academy which, since 2016, has delivered more than 20,000 training sessions to over 1,500 BV staff.
The courses are all delivered online and ‘on-demand.’ The e-learning modules allow students to set their own pace and manage their own learning experience in a carefully structured and engaging format. Suitable for maritime professionals or students looking to develop their awareness and understanding of specific areas of expertise, the courses address key technical areas related to:
- naval architecture
- materials, welding and non-destructive testing (NDT)
- rules and regulations
- classification and statutory matters.
One of the foundation courses is ‘The Introduction to Naval Architecture’, a multi-module course which, in 20 hours of training, delivers an extensive overview and detailed insight into the design and construction of ships. This course, as with many of the others, will be useful for professionals involved in ship operations, maritime regulation, ship broking, finance, insurance or other stakeholder groups and providers of ancillary services.
