Lemur Academy turns your own SMS into a seafarer’s first teacher — before they ever step aboard. Every joiner completes a Welcome Aboard stage introducing the company and how it operates, then a rank-specific booklet setting out exactly what’s expected of them on their vessel. Delivered as training videos with certificates for audit-proof records and closed out by a competency assessment drawn from your actual SMS at three levels, so crews arrive already knowing your procedures — not learning them on day one.
- What it is: Pre-joining SMS familiarisation built from your own procedures.
- Core problem it kills: Crews boarding unfamiliar with the company, the vessel and their rank duties — plus generic training you can’t evidence against audits.
- Primary users: Joining seafarers (all ranks); office/HSQE and manning to assign, monitor and prove completion.
- Daily-task moment: A newly-assigned Chief Officer, weeks before joining, works through Welcome Aboard, then their rank booklet as videos, earns the certificate, and passes the SMS competency check — arriving ready.
- Headline outcome: Safer, faster integration and a complete, audit-ready training record for every joiner.
- Standout capability: Two familiarisation stages + a 3-level competency assessment (managerial / support / operational), all generated from your actual SMS.
- Connects to: Draws content from DMS (the SMS) and E-Manuals; feeds records/evidence used in Audit & Pre-Vetting; competency levels align with rank across the Suite.
