Revised Provision for a Technical Training Databse

HM Coastguard Technical Training delivers training to all operational Coastguard officers across three main areas, maritime, coastal and aviation across a number of locations nationally. Each area comprises multiple subjects with assessments being conducted in order to demonstrate both theoretical and practical competence as measured against the HM Coastguard Competency Framework. This currently equates to approximately 700 staff at various grades and locations as well as delivering training to external agencies and corporate bodies. 1.2 As an Ofsted, Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and City & Guilds accredited training establishment, HM Coastguard Technical Training is required to maintain secure and accurate records of all training undertaken, assessment results, delegate feedback and course evaluation records. 1.3 HM Coastguard Technical Training is aiming to automate and streamline a number of administrative functions surrounding the scheduling and delivery of training courses. 1.4 Currently HM Coastguard Technical Training maintains training records for all operational staff as well as former staff as well as a training calendar for the scheduling of training courses. This is currently not visible to the wider Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).
