Mintra, a prominent provider of digital learning and human capital management solutions within the maritime sector, has achieved a significant milestone. The company announced that its Trainingportal Learning and Competency System, alongside the Seably online marketplace, has been awarded the prestigious DNV SeaSkill™ ST-0029 Maritime Training Providers and DNV SeaSkill™ ST-0595 Training Platform certifications. These certifications are a testament to Mintra’s unwavering commitment to quality, compliance, and innovation in maritime training solutions.
These certifications are no small feat. The DNV SeaSkill™ ST-0029 Maritime Training Providers certification recognizes Mintra’s robust management systems that ensure all training content is fully compliant and trustworthy. It’s a stamp of approval that demonstrates Mintra’s commitment to providing reliable training to maritime professionals, reinforcing its status as a leader in the field.
What makes this achievement particularly notable is that Trainingportal and Seably are currently the only platforms worldwide to hold these specific certifications. This distinction is not just about having an edge over competitors; it’s about setting a new standard for the entire industry. The certification confirms that both platforms have implemented rigorous processes to guarantee the quality of all learning programs hosted on their sites, including those offered by third-party suppliers. In essence, Mintra and Seably have built a fortress of quality that shields their users from subpar training experiences, ensuring that all training organizations on their platforms adhere to the highest standards in the industry.
Mintra’s Chief Technology Officer, Siren Berge, couldn’t hide her pride in this accomplishment. “Receiving these certifications from DNV is a testament to the hard work and dedication of every team member at Mintra,” she said. “These certifications reflect our commitment to quality and innovation as well as reaffirm our position as a trusted partner in the global maritime industry. We understand the critical importance of compliance and excellence in training, and these certifications are proof of our dedication to meeting the rigorous standards set by DNV.”

We are fully committed to ensuring that our training platforms and learning products offer our customers the best possible training experience. These certifications validate our continuous efforts and reassure our customers that we are meeting the highest standards in the industry,” he said.
The path to these certifications wasn’t simple. Mintra underwent a comprehensive assessment conducted by DNV, a global authority in quality assurance and risk management. This evaluation scrutinized everything from onboarding processes to delivery methods and platform functionalities, confirming they align with DNV’s stringent standards for excellence in maritime education and training.
Torsten Schroeder, SeaSkill Service Manager and Specialist Competence Certification at DNV, also weighed in on the achievement. “The DNV SeaSkill™ ST-0029 and ST-0595 certifications awarded to Mintra are a testament to their commitment to quality and innovation in maritime training,” he noted, underscoring the high bar Mintra has set for the industry.
