- Human Factor Development: Individual performance is evaluated against a predefined Human Factor (HF) profile encompassing six crucial elements:
- Situational Awareness
- Decision-Making
- Leadership
- Teamwork
- Communication
- Performance-Shaping Factors
Personalized Development:
Building on the comprehensive assessment, participants formulate a Personal Development Plan (PDP) to guide their ongoing professional growth beyond the program.
World-Class Simulation Facilities:
Maersk Training leverages its global network of facilities to deliver practical exercises within full-mission Bridge simulators. These advanced simulators replicate real-world scenarios, allowing officers to hone their skills in a controlled environment.
Conclusion:
By combining rigorous knowledge assessment, practical skill verification, and targeted human factor development, the Maersk Training Bridge Team Enhancement Program (BTEP) empowers seafarers to excel in their roles and navigate their careers towards leadership positions.
