New Online Booking Platform Introduced

The MSA team have listened to feedback from delegates and as a result have introduced a brand new online booking platform.

The new online booking platform for training courses will change the users experience significantly. It will ensure everyone encounters a much more streamline experience.

Course dates are now easier to view, with the option to search in chronological order or by course category. Bookings can be made with just a few simple clicks, making it very much a user-friendly system.

However, we believe the most significant improvement is that delegates now have their own personal online portal. Booked courses can be viewed on the portal, along with all course joining instructions.

This is an exciting development for the MSA and another example of how they are continually striving to improve the delegates training experience, even before they join a course!

With training centres in Portsmouth and Dover, we offer simulator training in BRM, ship handling, tug operations, Polar Code and Engine Simulator training in ERM, High Voltage, plus STCW Safety, commercial Fire, medical, GWO and Hospitality training.

The Viking Maritime Group were proud to have been selected as finalists in not one, but two categories in the prestigious Kent Excellence in Business KEiBA Awards 2021.

KEiBA is an awards scheme staged and produced by the KM Media Group and Kent County Council to recognise and reward excellence in businesses in Kent and Medway.

It is such an honour for the VMG to have been recognised in both the “Success in International Trade” & “Family Business of the Year” categories.

Both categories had extremely strong competition from other businesses and VMG are proud to be named alongside such prestigious businesses, such as Hornby, Shepherd Neame and GSE to name but a few.

It was a pleasure to welcome the KEiBA judges to our Dover office and showcase all we have to offer to the Maritime Industry, from our crew services to training to cadetships.

Making it to the final of the KEiBA awards in 2 categories is an accolade we as a team and a family are very proud of.
