scope:

This standard is intended for training providers offering external training as well as "in house" training.

It focuses on management, development, content, delivery and assessment of learning programmes and can be applied to any type of education and industry.

Training providers may need to comply with additional requirements, not covered by this standard.

DNV GL will consider alternative ways of complying with (parts of) this standard if these are found to represent an overall quality level equivalent to that of this standard.

Guidance note:

Typical examples of additional requirements:

- The national authority has imposed certain requirements on the training programme provider to approve it under the Quality System Standards of the Administration under the STCW Convention.

- Other requirements or safety standards imposed by local legislation.
