TRAINING PLATFORM: PRESENTATIONS, TESTING & eBOOK / PAY PER STUDENT + FREE ACCESS FOR STAFF
The SVM Training Platform is a comprehensive, all-in-one solution developed to support Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) delivering nationally recognised maritime training under the AMSA framework.

It includes structured training presentations, interactive theory tests, detailed mapping matrices, and access to the Small Vessels Manual eBook, providing trainers and students with a consistent reference source throughout the course.
