Learn, Connect, and Grow
As a RINA member, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to keep learning and developing your skills. Our branch lectures, courses, and webinars offer an easy way to stay connected, gain CPD hours, and discover what’s new in the maritime industry.
Upcoming courses and lectures
Paul - please provide Luke and Hannah with Courses and Lectures that are to appear in this section asap. Shall we at minimum make DockMaster to precede Cybersecurity, highglighting in summary that it sells out [following our 'popular with members' logic, rather than logistics of delivery logic. I will try to get a testimonial from Rusne.
Hannah - relying on you to upload these make them gated or semi-gated as Paul sees fit.
On-Demand Cyber Security Training
RINA and Acora have developed a comprehensive program of maritime cyber security training to further your learning and education within this critical discipline.
Delivered by certified Government Certified Trainers (GCT), and subject matter experts in the field of maritime cyber security, the training includes practical examples, scenarios, simulations and where required technical demonstrations of methods of protection from our technical cyber partner Fortinet.
What is Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
CPD is a commiotment to ongoing lifelong learning. As a maritime professional, you’ll need to learn new skills or improve existing ones, refresh your knowledge, and keep up to date with the latest developments so you can continue to carry out your work to the highest standards.
CPD is the systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of your knowledge and skills throughout your career. It’s also the way you’ll prove your professional competence so you can maintain your RINA Membership and Professional Registration.
CPD can be achieved through a range of activities, both inside and outside the workplace, which are related to members’ careers as naval architects and maritime engineers. RINA and employers can assist members in achieving their CPD targets, but ultimately, the responsibility rest with you to meet your individual needs at the different stages of your career.
All Fellows, Members and Associate Members who are in or seeking active work, are required to take all reasonable steps to maintain and develop their professional competence and knowledge after achieving Membership.
