The two day ISM auditor courses available for those involved in commercial shipping spend tedious amounts of time explaining the inert gas systems and refrigerated freight containers to be found in that fleet.
Valuable yes, but not if your sole task is to audit ISM on board Superyachts.
A course to be run by Watkins Superyachts in early January aims to dispel the myth that there need only be one type of course and is offering attendees the opportunity to gain an understanding of just how simple ISM compliance can and should be on a large yacht.
Watkins Superyachts run a two-day course aimed at any Captain, Officer or crew member who is either new to ISM, requires a refresher, or simply wishes to add to their existing knowledge.
At the end of the course attendees will have achieved a number of aims:
- The confidence to become an active contributor in the yachts’ safety management system
- The skill to carry out internal audits of your own yacht (and perhaps even external audits of someone else’s)
- The ability to challenge auditors, surveyors, managers and consultants who can sometimes use skill and experience for their own ends
