External Training Requests, Planned From Fleet Data
Every booking ties back to the certificate it renews, so a completed course closes a visible compliance gap.
Why fleets still struggle
The cost of how it’s done today
Training is booked reactively the moment a certificate lapses, instead of planned ahead from the fleet's real expiry data.
The traditional approach
Course bookings tracked in a spreadsheet with no link to certificate expiry, so gaps are found late and providers cost more.
With WaterTightVM
What changes when this is under control
Raise external training requests directly from expiring certificates, manage bookings and providers, and hand internal delivery to internal training and familiarisation.
Time back
Requests generate from the expiring-certificate list, so coordinators stop cross-referencing spreadsheets to plan courses.
Less waste
Planning renewals ahead of expiry avoids premium short-notice course fees and travel.
Lower risk
Every booking ties back to the certificate it renews, so a completed course closes a visible compliance gap.

Questions before you commit
Does this handle internal courses too?
Training management focuses on external provider requests and bookings. Internal courses are delivered through the internal training LMS, and joiner packs through familiarisation.
Can requests come from certificate expiry?
Yes. Requests can be raised straight from the expiring-certificate list so training planning follows real fleet data.
Do completed courses update the profile?
When the renewed certificate is uploaded, it updates the crew profile and compliance view.
Are MCA providers supported?
The provider directory can reference MCA and other approved training providers for booking; approval status remains the operator's responsibility to confirm.
