66 MAPPING MALAYSIA’S RESOURCE CENTRES SRIBIMA MARITIME TRAINING CENTRE SDN. BHD. (SMTC) Introduction Sribima Maritime Training Centre Sdn. Bhd. (SMTC) was established in Malaysia since 1988 with the primary objective of providing competence-based safety training to the oil & gas industry in Asia. Area of Expertise Its training facilities are fully equipped with comprehensive training equipment to simulate circumstances and situations of the actual working environment, as closely as possible under controlled conditions. This simulated realistic environment is ideal for competence- based training and assessment. SMTC’s learning and assessment team is composed of industry practitioners who have years of experience in their respective fields and are competent course leaders and assessors. Besides its local facilities, SMTC Malaysia also conducts on-site safety training at client locations globally. On top of being highly cost effective, this also allows site/ line management participation in the training and assessment process, thereby promoting their ownership of the safety courses. The SMTC safety training approach is essentially two-pronged: the first is to impart a culture of safety, knowledge and skills to prevent an incident from happening. Secondly, in the event that an incident occurs, the training approach empowers personnel to confidently and competently respond to and control the incident without loss of life and damage to property and environment. All SMTC courses are delivered using the very effective kinesthetic learning style in a modular format. This contributes to a high absorption and retention of the knowledge and skills imparted. SMTC is also recognised for its service excellence, in that most of its safety courses can be delivered anywhere in the world on very short notice, year-round and on terms that create lasting partnerships. Strengths and Achievements The main aim and objective of SMTC is to be the global market leader in providing high quality, fit-for-purpose and cost- effective safety training programmes by: 1. Maintaining a level of earnings which supports growth and expansion, while sustaining confidence of those who invest in the company by providing superior returns on investment. 2. Anticipating and fulfilling customers’ needs in delivering high levels of product and service quality through the dedicated performance of staff. 3. Providing a rewarding and challenging environment for employees, allowing them to share in the company’s growth and success. E D U C A T I O N A N D T R A I N I N G
