international gaming and film industries and their launch follows 12 months of
development by ITS Training, in partnership with Aims solutions
(Liverpool). The project will provide training for more than 500 people and
provide 11 jobs by December 2008.
The new training facilities focus on two areas; port operations and
international trade and logistics. The port operations package developed by
AIMS (Liverpool) includes three simulators which allow users to replicate
conditions of real-life, potentially dangerous, or unusual work situations such
as high winds, that may arise
The international trade and logistics package developed by ITS Training Ltd
simulates real-life work situations in the industry, anywhere in the world,
involving almost any commodity. Students are expected to solve problems and are
faced with realistic workloads, dealing with ports and cargoes in changing
situations. Facilities include eight interactive workstations and the training
requires groups of students to take on the roles of a shipping line, freight
forwarder, customs and excise officers, haulier, bank, port, importer and
exporter.
Quote from Liverpool "The maritime sector is one of the nine growth
sectors which make up the Merseyside sector development programme (SDP). These
sectors are identified and supported by the Mersey Partnership and
