After the successful DNV audit for TOTS Simulator Training Program.\u00a0 Capt. Sanjeev Soni (4th<\/sup> from Left) of DNV-Singapore\u00a0<\/strong>is flanked with COMPASS executives headed by Mr. Dakila Villanueva, (5th<\/sup>\u00a0from left) President of Compass Training Center Inc.,<\/strong><\/p>

In less than six months after COMPASS successfully passed two consecutive audits from two different bodies, COMPASS scores it again for the third time. Last July 13-15, 2010, in what a significant step forward to the attainment of company\u2019s vision of becoming a globally-recognized and a leading valued partner of the maritime industry ,\u00a0 COMPASS successfully aced the tedious three-day\u00a0 audit\u00a0 to become the first ever DNV-Certified TOTS (Tanker Officers Training Standards by INTERTANKO 2008)\u00a0 training provider in the\u00a0 Asia-Pacific region.\u00a0 The audit was spearheaded by Capt. Sanjeev Soni of DNV-Singapore (Det Norske Veritas).\u00a0 DNV is the leading and risk management organization providing services such as management system certification and training standards evaluation as one of their major focus of expertise.<\/p>

Prior to the successful audit for the INTERTANKO \u2013 TOTS certification, COMPASS was awarded an ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems last February 2010 by DNV and in March of the same year, Maritime Training Council of the Philippines has qualified COMPASS as a maritime training center offering the mandatory STCW 78 courses after a successful audit of its training facilities and programs. COMPASS is now a fully DNV-certified INTERTANKO-TOTS Training Center, an added achievement to its very young corporate existence but nonetheless an industry leading & competence-driven initiative.<\/p>

True to its mission, COMPASS recognizes that maritime training programs are a significant investment both for the seafarer and his sponsoring organization. That is the reason why COMPASS invests in the state of the art technologies and training facilities such as the DNV Type-A approved Integrated Full Bridge System simulator, an Engine Room Simulator and a fully functional Liquid Cargo Handling Operations for Tankers facilities. COMPASS Training simulators are all supplied by an India-based ARI (Applied Research International), one of the leading global suppliers offering a portfolio of simulation technologies to enterprises.<\/p>

After an extensive DNV verification process of compliance toward the INTERTANKO-TOTS standard, soon COMPASS shall receive its certification from DNV-Singapore to run TOTS simulator courses and verification exercises geared towards officers\u2019 continual development. The certification enables COMPASS to provide an unparalleled training service for tanker operators by providing the standard and minimum requirements for tanker training courses for their crews through the STCW courses. While simultaneously, COMPASS raises the bar as it goes far and beyond satisfying minimum requirements by focusing on competence as a strategic tool by offering a DNV-Certified INTERTANKO-TOTS to its training portfolio.<\/p>

TOTS (Tanker Officer Training Standards) offers training and verification of core competency, providing the industry with a standard that ensures tanker officer competence through onboard and shore training, evaluating knowledge gained as a result of time in rank and time with company.
