Naval forces operate in complex and demanding environments, and training plays a central role in helping build operational capability. Today, that means more than developing the skills of frontline personnel. Effective naval programmes rely on navies, shipyards, equipment manufacturers, system integrators and specialist advisers working to the same standards and assurance frameworks. Building on this shared understanding is one of the biggest training challenges facing naval organisations. 

Reduced uniformed headcount, individuals switching between postings and operational commitments further complicate the challenge of delivering critical training programmes.  Personnel can be difficult to release for training, while knowledge can be lost as people move between roles. Without a planned approach, learning becomes reactive rather than supporting long-term programme capability. 

LR provides practical training that helps organisations apply naval ship rules, naval ship codes and assurance processes with confidence. Rather than teaching rules in isolation, training is integrated with LR's Assurance and Advisory services, grounded in real naval programmes, and focused on how requirements apply throughout the platform lifecycle. 

Training can be tailored to each organisation and delivered on site, in the classroom, virtually or, for selected content, through e-learning. It can also be aligned with design reviews, surveys and assurance milestones to ensure learning is directly relevant to programme activities. 

Training can be tailored to cover: 

  • Naval ship rules 
  • Naval ship codes 
  • Assurance processes 

Operational & technical disciplines 

  • Operational risk 
  • Human factors 
  • Environmental performance 
  • Condition and response modelling 
  • Noise and vibration management 
  • Polar operations 

Emerging technologies & certification 

  • Additive manufacturing 
  • Emerging technologies 
  • Risk-based approaches to certification
