IFS delivers catering services for offshore and merchant vessels. With the headquarters in Belgium and training centers in Poland, Singapore, the Philippines, and Angola, they train people to become qualified maritime chefs and stewards.
Setting up the IFS training app, digitalization of content, targeted microlearning courses, ongoing guidance from UQ learning experts.
The IFS training consists of two parts: theoretical lessons first and hands-on cooking practice afterwards.
Before COVID-19, trainees needed to travel to IFS centers to attend the courses. This traditional model limited the number of people who could be trained at once.
We set up the IFS Coach — the company's own app for mobile and desktop, digitalizing the theoretical part of their training.
Content is now available in a microlearning format and includes multimedia and game-based challenges, making the training experience more interactive, effective, and fun.
Before starting their hands-on practice, trainees must complete all modules and pass a digital exam to test their knowledge.
Built-in analytics allow IFS to track completion rates, time spent, and skill levels.
The IFS Chief Cook's Course is part of the official governmental certification by FOD.
