Track every learner
Manage cohorts by destination or vessel, view individual progress, identify learners who need additional support before examination.

Programme integration
Integrates with your existing pre-deployment training
Shima runs alongside your institution's training programme — it supplements instructors with structured practice, not replaces them. Supports deployment for TESDA-accredited programmes, manning agency pre-departure orientations, and maritime training centres.
