What is inside the guide
Five decisions, in order
Each decision builds on the last. By the end you will know whether a managed solution makes sense for your operation, and what a sensible first step looks like.
01
Is your training volume high enough?
A simple threshold test across bookings, vendors, invoices, admin hours, and tracked certifications.
02
Which building block causes the most friction?
Booking, financial, and vendor management. Knowing which one hurts most tells you where to start.
03
What level of service do you actually need?
How to match a tier to your operation without buying complexity you do not need.
04
Can you build a credible business case?
The cost base to count, and a calculation that holds up when finance scrutinises it.
05
What does a sensible first step look like?
A 90-day pilot you can run on one region or vessel class before committing further.
Plus a worked example and a North Sea case study
See how one operator cut training admin and consolidated its vendors into a single monthly invoice.
A managed solution does not replace the training manager. It frees them to focus on higher-value work.
