Client ListA small selection of companies who have undertaken distance learning courses with Lloyd’s Maritime Academy
See back page for a complete list of courses and start dates.
“This course offers the opportunity to gather a very diverse and extended knowledge on Maritime Law topics”(Aurélien Grosso, CMA CGM, France - Postgraduate Diploma in Maritime Law)
“The course provides current information, gives an excellent opportunity to learn new skills and improve on existing knowledge.”(S M Dillon, Noble Denton Consultants Ltd - Diploma in Marine Surveying)

Distance learning can be highly beneficial to a large variety of people.With courses being delivered at different levels, distance learning can meet the needs of a diverse student body. High competition for jobs means having additional training and education can be a real advantage, whether someone is in the market for a new career or simply wants to progress in their existing position.
Like any kind of educational programme, distance learning comes with advantages and disadvantages, and it is always important that a student carefully considers these in order to be sure they will be getting the education that meets personal needs, strengths, career goals and maybe corporate objectives.
BENEFITS OF DISTANCE LEARNING INCLUDE:
• Flexibility - Students can undertake their course from just about anywhere, providing they have the right communications means, which is mostly just a computer and internet connection – and in some cases we can provide printed materials to even reduce this need. This allows students to work when and where it is most convenient without having to squeeze scheduled classes in to an already busy life. The hours when study can be undertaken are flexible, and students can work at their own pace and on their own time, completing work during times when they are free, rather than scheduling their lives around a set classroom time.
• Choice - If you live in a location with few or no colleges, or your subject area is specialised and not delivered by many people, distance learning allows you to choose from a wide variety of training providers to complete your education, greatly expanding your choice.
• Level and progression - Distance learning can help you obtain everything from introductory certifications to a full MBA.
• Lowered costs - Prices for online courses are generally cheaper than their equivalent classroom tutor-led counterparts and avoid the usual substantial additional costs, such as commuting, accommodation, meals etc. that are incurred when learning away from home.
• Tutor support - Tutors can teach students from all around the world using technology which allows them to facilitate collaborative tutorials, project work, focused content and educational enrichment via modern delivery methods. Distance learning brings you tutors who would not normally be available locally.
• Learn while working - As distance learning can usually be completed on your own schedule, you can keep working full-time whilst studying. Keeping your job gives you more income, experience and stability while completing your course; giving you less to worry about and more time to focus on your studies.
• Professional classmates - Mix and network via online forums with like-minded individuals on a global basis.
• Learning Style – people learn in different ways. Distance learning has many benefits for students as you take control of your preferred means of studying our material, and our course directors will help ensure you stay motivated and we’ll help you plan your study schedule.
• Social interaction – Some distance learning providers can leave you feeling isolated during your study, but with Lloyd’s Maritime Academy you always have your course director, course administrator and fellow students available via interactive course forums, email and phone so that support is available and you can benefit from all important social learning.
DOES DISTANCE LEARNING WORK?
After over 13 years of experience of Lloyd’s Maritime Academy delivering distance learning, the answer is most definitely yes!
Our past students are evidence of this, with many approaching Lloyd’s Maritime Academy to request more courses and higher level qualifications as they have reaped the benefits of undertaking a programme and want to progress even further.
For many, distance education is the learning style of choice as it offers a lower cost, longer term learning engagement. Study can fit around avail-able time without interfering with work or family arrangements; the training is non-geographic spe-cific and does not require travel, and is free of any other considerations that may preclude individuals from attending traditional classroom courses.
DISCOUNTSFor most courses there are discounts for early applications. Early enrolment discount dates are listed on the corresponding course brochure and websites.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTSAll accredited courses have specific entry requirements. Further details are available on the relevant course brochures.
Please note that the certificate and fundamentals courses do not have entry requirements.
FEESCourse fees vary between programmes depending on level and topics. VAT may need to be charged additionally to some students depending on your location. Please see the calendar on the back page for current price structure and the relevant course brochure or website for more details.
FUNDINGMany companies fully or partly sponsor their employees for our courses and actively encourage personal development in line with company priorities. You should start by discussing your training request with your line manager, training manager or human resources manager to enquire about support available. Make sure you have thought through your reasons for wanting to do the course and how it will benefit yourself, your job role and your company. Employers can be very positive if you have thought through your reasons for undertaking the course and demonstrate the self-discipline and commitment required to gain maximum benefit from a training programme. We are always happy to directly talk to you and your manager to answer any questions about the course. We’re here to help you so please contact us without delay.

Also the fact that it’s a relatively short course meant that I didn’t lose interest in the modules - with some long term courses it is hard to stay motivated. Each module was reasonably short and easy to follow.”(Student, Certificate in Marine Claims)

MODULE ONE
Principles of Marine Insurance LawIntroducing the essential features and peculiarities of the law of marine insurance, with particular emphasis on the Marine Insurance Act 1906 as well as an introduction into carriage of goods by sea.It provide a foundation for further in-depth studies of marine insurance which will be provided in later modules.• PrinciplesofthelawandtheMarineInsurance
Special Categories of Marine Insurance CoverA broad overview of all main categories of insurance contracts in the maritime field is provided in this module. The shipping boom of the last decade caused concerns over the rising trend in insurance claims and now, but for different reasons, the concern is that the financial crisis will also have adverse effects on marine insurance. The module will deal with the basic insurance cover for the maritime property of the ship owner and cargo owner as well as for the protection against other economic risks, such as loss of earnings or loss of the vessel as security for financing purposes. There will be comprehensive explanations of the perils insured against, including collision liabilities, which are, by tradition, covered under the vessel’s Hull & Machinery insurance. Other (third party) liabilities will be covered in a subsequent module, but a brief introduction to Protection & Indemnity Clubs will be provided here.
• Hull&Machineryinsurance- Time covers- Voyage covers
• Cargoinsurance- A, B, and C clauses (1983 and 2009 versions)- Cargo insurance and international sales
P&I Clubs and Mutual InsuranceAn overview and detailed introduction into the world of mutual liability insurance as provided byP&IClubs.Thesystemofmutual‘Clubs’hasexisted for nearly 300 years - initially with the Hull Clubs and, for the last 150 years, the Protection and Indemnity Clubs. This method of providing liability insurance to the ship operators continues to dominate the market with over 90% of the world’s deep sea ships entered in one of 13 P&I Clubs of the International Group. The module will explain how the P&I Clubs came into existence and why they continue, fundamentally, to operate in very
much the same way and provide similar cover as in those early days. The concept of mutuality is key to the structure, success and functioning of the Club system and this concept will be studied in some detail to understand the foundations of the Clubs and how the system works in practice. A section of the module will also explore how P&I underwriting is structured and how the mutual system links into and relies upon commercial market cover by way of reinsurance facilities. The core of the module will be an examination of the scope of liability cover provided by the Clubs, linking the cover provided with the liability regimes for the various categories.
Marine ReinsuranceInsurance is a way of transferring the economic consequences of a risk to another party, the insurer. Insurers in their turn further transfer and spread the risk to other insurers by reinsurance. In the current economic climate the relationship between primary insurance and reinsurance will be more important than ever for all involved. The specialised area of reinsurance will be comprehensively covered in this module.
ClaimsThe more practical procedures and implications related to filing a claim under a marine insurance policy are described. Claims handling is an issue for both the insured and the insurer regardless of whether the insurance relates to hull or machinery interests, cargo or shipowners’ liability.
COURSE OVERVIEW:Boost your ability to address, analyse and solve insurance problems, whether looking at matters from the perspective of assureds or underwriters, and to advise clients and underwriters on points of principle and policy wordings.
“This course is very valuable. I have enrolled on a course where I received so much useful appropriate and relevant information. Definitely worth every penny!” (Munawar Ali Syed, Al Khaleej Sugar Co LLC)
“The joy of learning from masters of the subject, practical use in day to day work life is great.”(Anish Jacob, MaxInsure (Tanzania) Ltd)

“It is an excellent opportunity for maritime professionals to combine commercial practice with theoretical background. To gain a real insight in day to day commercial operations combined with the ability to predict the consequences and possible outcome arising out of any potential dispute between the parties. It is fundamental to understand the position and the overall relations between various parties in maritime adventure. The ability to have access to law libraries and case law provides a unique opportunity to evaluate not only how the English law systems work but further to test the mentioned commercial relations on real cases and facts.”(Apostolos Mavrides, Tanker Operations)
