We offer an experienced and carefully selected group of Associates. These Associates share our passion for the sector and will work with your organisation to deliver training based around your requirements.

We don’t restrict you to a syllabus or a pre-determined set of topics. Our goal is to work with you to choose the training that you need. Some clients want to prepare for commercial shipping qualifications, such as membership of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS); other clients  will be looking to develop or improve their shipping knowledge without specific qualifications. 

We provide certificates based on a combination of actions and standards that we agree with you, the client.  This is tailored training the way it should be.

What sort of topics do you we cover?

We cover the topics you need. A big advantage of the in-person training which Coracle provides is the flexibility to respond to our students' immediate needs. Whats more, we can include your in-house materials online and/or use them in face-to-face training. So, if your organisation has in-house content that you'd like to distribute to your colleagues through the online learning platform, talk to us about integration. Our team of in-house learning and software experts are available to develop and maintain written, visual, audio and animated content. 

For examples, if you would like us to use charter-parties or other documents in your organisation as the basis for a practical session, just let us know.
