SMT's vision is to create a new learning environment to service the global maritime industry. This will utilise a blend of technology and practical drills on vessels to create the most effective learning experience for life-critical training. Current offerings require theoretical and practical training to be performed in training centres that are accredited and certified by the relevant Awarding Bodies (MCA and MNTB).Delegates undertaking this training and their employers face a number of logistical and cost challenges currently: scheduling training around rotas and shift patterns; organising travel and accommodation; ensuring delegates have the required pre-requisite knowledge, and planning refresher training to ensure continued compliance. These challenges have become more extreme as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to major maritime employers ceasing travel and training for their staff. Social distancing guidelines have also severely impacted the numbers of delegates that can be trained in a training facility.To address this major challenge, SMT plans to create a technology-based solution to enable delegates to train at a time and location that is safe and effective for them whilst achieving lower-cost, more effective training in mandatory safety subjects. The digital content will use the most effective multi-media mix for each required subject area, with the knowledge gained online subsequently enhanced on the vessel with practical drills.This offering will be available globally to maritime companies, enabling them to standardise their learning content and assessment across their international operations. There is no current method to achieve the mandatory certification required to work at sea without having to bear the cost and risk of traveling to a training facility. Developing this solution will: increase learner engagement in the training syllabus and improve the learning experience; drive down training costs for individuals and corporate customers; and will open up a global market for SMT's offering. Having learning "on-demand" will enable delegates to schedule their learning into manageable segments that have a minimal impact on their day-to-day roles and responsibilities. Training Administrators from employing companies will also be able to view the current progress and certification achieved for all of their employees online, enabling them to identify compliance and competency gaps across their operations. This will lead to improved safety performance. The end goal will be to further develop AR and VR solutions such that the requirement for the on-vessel drills can be further reduced and eventually removed.The removal of the requirement to travel for training and for hotel accommodation will have a massive impact on de-carbonisation at a global level. There are approximately 10 million mariners that require mandatory training on a five-year cycle. Current total training costs are largely comprised of travel and logistical costs rather than the actual retail cost of the course. Removing these elements removes millions of plane, taxi and train journeys carbon emissions caused by hotel laundry and heating. This will greatly reduce training costs, which will be massively beneficial to all employing companies and individual delegates, in particular those with the least financial means.

SMT的愿景是创造一个新的学习环境，为全球航运业服务。这将利用技术和船舶上的实际演习，为生命关键培训创造最有效的学习体验。目前的课程要求在相关认证机构认可和认证的培训中心进行理论和实践培训参加这种培训的代表及其雇主目前面临着一些后勤和成本方面的挑战：围绕轮值和轮班模式安排培训;组织旅行和住宿;确保代表具备必要的先决知识，并规划复习培训，以确保持续遵守。由于COVID-19疫情导致主要海事雇主停止员工的旅行和培训，这些挑战变得更加极端。为了应对这一重大挑战，SMT计划创建一个基于技术的解决方案，使代表能够在安全有效的时间和地点进行培训，同时实现更低成本、更有效的强制性安全科目培训。数字内容将针对每个所需的主题领域使用最有效的多媒体组合，在线获得的知识随后将通过实际演练在船上得到增强。该课程将面向全球海事公司，使他们能够在其国际业务中扩展其学习内容和评估。目前没有办法在不必承担前往培训设施的费用和风险的情况下获得海上工作所需的强制性认证。开发此解决方案将：提高学员对培训大纲的参与度并改善学习体验;降低个人和企业客户的培训成本;并将为SMT的产品打开全球市场。“按需”学习将使代表们能够将学习安排在可管理的部分，对他们的日常作用和责任的影响最小。来自用人公司的培训管理员还将能够在线查看其所有员工的当前进度和获得的认证，使他们能够确定其运营中的合规性和能力差距。这将提高安全性能。最终目标将是进一步开发AR和VR解决方案，以便进一步减少并最终取消船上演习的要求。取消培训和酒店住宿的要求将对全球范围内的脱碳产生巨大影响。大约有1 000万名海员需要接受五年一周期的强制性培训。目前的培训费用总额主要包括旅费和后勤费用，而不是课程的实际零售费用。去除这些元素可以消除数百万次飞机，出租车和火车旅行中由酒店洗衣和供暖造成的碳排放。这将大大降低培训成本，这将大大有利于所有雇用公司和代表个人，特别是那些财力最少的代表。
