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.
