UCDI, also known as Uniteam Career Development Institute, was established with the aim of providing Myanmar youths with the necessary skills and knowledge to work abroad.
As with many developed countries, Ger- many has been facing a shortage of qualified healthcare workers to care for its aging population. Meanwhile, many young people in Myanmar are struggling to find employment opportunities.
To bridge this gap, UCDI has started offering German language classes designed
to meet the requirements of the German workforce. A B2 level of German language proficiency is required to work as a health- care professional in Germany, and UCDI’s courses are tailored to help students achieve this. The institute began offering its German language classes in November 2022, and currently has 120 students from diverse backgrounds attending classes at different levels. Some aspire to become healthcare workers, while others aim to attend higher education in Germany or work on cruise vessels.
Regardless of their aspirations, UCDI is committed to helping all students achieve their dreams by closing skills gaps and preparing them to be confident, competent and job-ready. UCDI believes that education is the best gift one can give to improve one’s life, and language is the key to unlocking many doors of new opportunities.

On 20 March 2023 the integrated mooring station MV Uniteam Endeavour was inaugurated and launched with great success.
Esteemed guests attended the event, including Mr Gerhard Ruether, Capt. Jerzy Wilk, Capt. Than Oo and the Director General of DMA, who performed the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The head of the Engine Department from Uniteam Training, U Lwin Oo, said a prayer to bless the new vessel, followed by the launching of the new facility by the God Mother, Daw Marlar Thein Shwe, the wife of Capt. Than Oo. The champagne bottle was broken over the bow of the ship, symbolising the launch of MV Uniteam Endeavour. Several important persons from DMA and representatives of established SRPS from Myanmar were in attendance.
The integrated mooring station includes a forward mooring station, chain locker, paint store, bosun store, bunker station, oily water separator, tank for confined space training and a log lashing station. It is connected with the existing facility, which includes the gangway and pilot ladder and swimming pool with lifeboat and life rafts, to do the Basic Safety Training, PSCRB, Sea Survival, and many other training courses. The mooring training provided includes safe mooring operation, maintenance and inspection of mooring ropes, accident prevention during mooring operation, maintenance of mooring equipment, anchoring operation, emergency towing, chain locker inspection and maintenance, and communication and teamwork during mooring operation.
The paint store is equipped with a ventilation system, watertight door, mock-up fire detection and firefighting system (CO2/sprinkler). Practical exercises such as entering the paint store, starting ventilation before entering, simulating a fire emergency and maintaining the watertight door will be conducted. Practical Surface Preparation & Maintenance (Chipping & Painting) training will also be done.
The facility includes a bunkering station for practical bunkering operations, oily water separator and a log lashing station located behind the mooring deck. These training facilities provide participants with real-life scenarios and hands-on experience that enhance their ability to perform these operations safely and efficiently.
Uniteam Training always believes in training its seafarers and invested in the training facilities to provide competent and qualified seafarers to man the ships entrusted to us by the shipowners.
The launching of the integrated mooring station MV Uniteam Endeavour was one of the proudest moments in my life. MV Uniteam Endeavour is much more than just a ship for our seafarers. It will provide the necessary practical skills to many seafarers, allow them to take important steps for their career development, and help prevent many accidents.

The Microlearning concept was introduced to our seafarers by using the TalentCards app in December 2018.
The Microlearning courses are short and focused, usually two to five minutes long, delivered in bite-sized chunks, with a focus on specific learning objectives. It is designed to be easily digestible, memorable and actionable. It can be used in combination with other forms of learning and is targeted towards learners with short attention spans.
Microlearning is effective in providing just-in-time, on-demand learning opportunities, which is beneficial for people who need to acquire new skills or knowledge quickly and easily. It can also be used to reinforce or refresh previously learned material, to help learners retain the information over time. Additionally, it can be integrated with other learning and development activities, to provide a holistic, blended learning experience.
The use of virtual classroom and online learning systems has increased dramatically since the start of Covid, where gathering people in the classroom was not possible. Uniteam Training has developed over 200 courses as DISS (Done in Sixty Seconds) modules and ONTHEGO modules. The mobile-based self-learning modules in combination with Virtual Classroom enabled us to provide uninterrupted training to fulfil the training needs of our seafarers during the disruption of Covid.
To improve the delivery of our training content in line with the advancement of new technology, we are moving to a new platform.
It is time to say goodbye to the TalentCards app. 31 December 2022 was the last day we used TalentCards as our learning platform. We are very grateful to the TalentCards team for their unwavering and continuous support during the last four years.
We started using a new learning platform called KREDO on 1 January 2023.
HERE ARE A FEW TIPS AS A QUICK-START GUIDE:
- You will receive the invitation email from KREDO Systems. Note down the username and password.
- Download the KREDO app from the App Store / Google Play Store.
- Sign in by using the username and password you received by email.
- You will see the learner dashboard, assigned courses, and assigned learning paths.
- Open the course you want to learn and enjoy your learning journey.
- You can contact our support team by sending an email to utkredoteam@uniteamtraining.com
WHAT IS KREDO?
KREDO is an innovative and user-friendly online learning platform that provides students with access to high-quality educational resources and personalises the learning experience to meet the unique needs of each student. The courses are designed to be interactive and engaging. They also offer a wide range of assessments, quizzes and resources for practising and self-evaluating.
Another important aspect of KREDO is its ability to personalise the learning experience for each student. The platform uses advanced algorithms to assess a student’s progress and adapt the content to their specific needs and abilities. This ensures that students are challenged at the right level and can make steady progress in their studies.
KREDO also allows students to collaborate and share their knowledge and ideas. It has a built-in messaging and chat system to foster the student’s learning community and form study groups.
HERE ARE A FEW FEATURES:
- Learning is not just reading the content or watching the videos. You can also listen to the content through background voices just like an audiobook.
- Social learning is possible. You can chat with the instructor and collaborate with your colleagues both within and outside your course groups using discussion boards, comments, likes, bookmarks and chat requests.
- Provide feedback of 1 to 5 stars.
- Do the survey and take assignments for continuous learning.
- Join a Virtual Meeting or classroom directly from the app.
- Use QR codes for quick learning. Use the search func- tion to find the course.
- You will see the Calendar for your learning schedule.
- A new feature called “Learning path”. It is a series of modules which you will have to complete as per the order set up in the system. The intention is to cover a specific topic in an intended sequence.
- The system can produce a course completion certificate.
- You will receive a notification when a new course or new learning path is assigned to you.
We will continue our efforts to make training easier, less intrusive, more effective, less time-consuming and more fun!
Enjoy learning and stay safe!
