Qatar International Safety Centre  – a Madina Group Company and leading provider of practical and competence-assessed safety critical training – and Intelligent Seas Group, a leading provider of digital and blended learning to the energy, maritime and construction industries, are delighted to announce a formal partnership to provide innovative and immersive digital and blended learning to the local Qatar market and broader Middle East region.

This partnership will enable QISC to optimise their current extensive training offerings with integrated digital elements that will enhance the learners’ experience, provide a more effective and impactful syllabus and will deliver cost reductions and logistical efficiencies to learners and employing companies.

The offering will include immersive and engaging generic eLearning courses, in addition to the capability to create customised digital content that will reflect each customer’s branding, assets and facilities, procedures and equipment.

Furthermore, the partnership will be offering a fully customisable, feature-rich and highly intuitive Learning Management System, which can be used to manage, track and certify not only digital training but classroom and webinar courses, in addition to competence-based training and assessment.

This system offers low/zero bandwidth capability as well as the option for data to be stored in-country,  in compliance with local laws.  It is in use across multiple customers globally in the oil and gas, maritime and construction industries com and this combined offering will provide material quality and cost benefits to all customers and will enable a step-change in efficiency for the large-scale shutdown and construction projects in the region.  The blended offering allows elements of the training syllabus to be delivered before the works even arrive in the country and cuts down the training time once they are on site.  This saves multiple days’ worth of time and cost, whist also ensuring that all workers are trained to an equally consistent and high standard.

QISC Business and Operations Manager, Einar Johannesson commented, “We are thrilled to embark on this partnership with Intelligent Seas Group. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our journey towards digital transformation. By integrating advanced digital and blended learning solutions, we are not only enhancing the quality and effectiveness of our training programs but also offering our clients greater flexibility and efficiency.

“Our combined expertise will ensure that our clients receive the highest standards of training, tailored to their specific needs and that they are well-equipped to meet the demands of their industries safely and competently. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this partnership will bring to our customers and the broader Middle East region,” he said.

Intelligent Seas Group Co-Founder, Tim Love, said, “We are delighted to be partnering with QISC in their drive for digital transformation of the life critical training that they offer to their clients across Qatar and beyond.  The blend of our immersive and online training offerings that can be undertaken at the delegates’ convenience, and QISC’s world-class practical and simulation training, is proving to be a compelling proposition to corporate customers across Qatar and the broader Middle East.

“Our offerings are wholly complimentary and offer the most up-to-date and engaging digital content for theoretical learning and skills assessment, coupled with the hands-on competence-based training that ensures that workers completing our training programs can perform their work safely and competently,” he added.
