We are a Passive Acoustic Monitoring Operators course for industry and research and have been running for over 13 years. Our training courses are about ensuring professionalism and high standards of knowledge within the industry. Our highly experienced staff facilitate private training courses to students in a classroom environment, attaining new theoretical and practical skills and competencies on an international level. Scanning Ocean Sectors ensure that the vocational, practical skills and knowledge relate to the specific useful competencies. Our training forms the core background information and provides the backbone of content to support students in the field. In addition to the core training required for this profession, we provide additional advanced training and specialised training for specific hard and software equipment where required. Continuous support is provided to all our training students from the moment they qualify and unlike other courses, we offer a legal refresher course every *3 years*. Industries today recognise the need to continue training beyond initial qualifications, to maintain, upgrade and update skills throughout staffs work time. We can provide this professional development for each and every person who is trained by our company, please ask for a quotation <https://www.scanningoceansectors.com/contact/>. The practical unit of “on-the-job training” has a general reputation as being the most effective for vocational work, so this is exactly what we do. Students are in a simulated work environment and will have to respond to each and every situation we put their way; this is completed in the classroom and at sea, every student is carefully monitored throughout this training process and assess accordingly. Each student is *graded* in their certification to ensure the professional quality standard of the PAMO/MMO/MFO. We are the only course that gives Passive Acoustic Monitoring Operator and Marine Mammal Observer Identification Cards to each qualifying PAMO/MMO/MFO attaining any grades *above* a standard pass rate. Please note you must register and pay at the same time. If you require group training, please contact us and ask for a quotation <https://www.scanningoceansectors.com/contact/>.
