Abstract:

A computer-based training system and related methods utilizing a simulated offshore environment. The training system allows users to safely simulate various job tasks in which they are expected to perform prior to actually performing the job tasks in an offshore environment. Conditions can be altered each time to make the training session easier or more difficult, which also enables users to experience a different training scenario each time. The system allows users to make mistakes in a safe environment, before there are any real consequences, such as an injury or an environmental upset. The training system has reporting and updating capabilities to enable companies to determine the status of employee training and ensure that all of the procedures are current and consistent company-wide.
