Welcome

CAPTAINS (Communication and Practical Training in Applied Nautical Studies) is an EU Leonardo Transfer of Innovation project which aims to make a significant contribution to maritime education and training. The project will collate existing knowledge regarding linguistic, paralinguistic, and cultural issues that act as barriers in communication on board multi-nationally crewed ships, and create interactive online communication training courses for seafarers.

The CAPTAINS project will contribute to an enhanced safety at sea culture by providing a means for seafarers to improve their English language communication skills. The partnership will transfer innovation by combining advanced e-learning and collaboration tools with interactive rich media learning contents, taking into consideration scenario-based and experiential learning.
