School of Synergic Studies Trust

The Vision.
Created visually on 3rd June 1995, the School of Synergic Studies was set up on 1st April 1997, with the aim of empowering people and increasing productivity in marine and non marine based industry. 

The Start.
The Vessel Resource Management (VRM) course was designed and launched for the mariners, with the purpose of internalizing safety. The School grew from strength to strength designing and conducting courses for Mitsui (OSK), Great Eastern (India) shipping, Acomarit (UK), Tschudi and Eitzen (Denmark), Denholms (UK) and OMCI, and Paramount Shipping.

It is widely known that in the forthcoming era of self-regulation, an atmosphere of Compliance and evasion could only spell disaster and closure of many organisations. The general approach to shipboard management was analyzed to be found wanting. The grey areas were primarily with Basics. Basics of communication, Basics of Shipboard aspects of human relationships, basics of self-management were addressed effectively through the VRM programme. The main aim was to internalize the ISM code and STCW 95 amendments amongst the ship and shore management to reduce stress caused by their implementation and improve efficiency.

Participants from the Directorate General of Shipping, Lal Bahadur Shastri College of Advanced Maritime Studies and Research (LBSCAMSAR), Marine Engineering and Research Institute (MERI), Mitsui OSK, OMCI, KC Chellaram, Tolani Shipping, Electra Marine, Vships, Farsund, Chevron, Herald Maritime Services, Pratibha Shipping, Accord Shipping, Starship Andromeda, Anglo Eastern, Paramount have attended this course.

The initial VRM course was launched with the able support of Mitsui, Great Eastern Shipping, Denholms, Dynacom tankers, Pratibha shipping, Chevron and Farsund shipping and The SSS is greatly indebted to Mitsui OSK and Great Eastern who gave us the Initial Boost.

With the vision to expand the activities worldwide we started with Distance learning programmes (DLP) for Chinese deck and engine cadets and in-house training in Maritime English, Vessel Resource Management and Safety Management Systems for PT Samudera Denholms, Indonesia.

Creating Learning Organisations.
Besides VRM, the prestigious course which the DGS (Directorate General of Shipping) invited the School to conduct was the Training for Trainers and Assessors (TOTA). We are the first private institute to conduct this course in India. This course is designed under the guidelines of IMO module STCW 6.09 and further developed to meet Local Training needs. It is compulsory for all trainers/ course coordinators from various government and private training institutes to attend this course. Besides this, independent Courses has been conducted for AMET in Chennai, Cochin Shipyard in Cochin and Univan Training Institute Cochin.
