  • Maritime Appraisal Training

    March 5, 2021

  • Based on IMO Model Courses 1.30 & 3.12 and TMSA elements 2 & 3

    The appraisal process is a vital tool to communicate an organisation's safety culture values, helping shape a sustainable and robust 'safety climate' onboard ships. The performance appraisal process of a seafarer is a cohesive exercise between office HR, various office departments (HSEQ, Operations, Technical, Vetting) and the employee. The appraisal process of a seafarer differs starkly from the performance appraisal process for a shore-based employee.

     VettingForce performance appraisal training course addresses three main questions.

    1. WHY is performance appraisal required?

    2. WHO conducts the assessment?

    3. WHAT are the tools used to carry out the appraisal?
