Human Element: VR BCAV & ICMG

Behaviour, measured.
Competency, proven.

Behavioural Competency Assessment in Virtual reality (BCAV) and ICMG, aligned with SIRE 2.0, TMSA and DryBMS. We pair neuroscience with immersive VR to measure real behaviour and technical skill in realistic, high-pressure ship conditions, before boarding.

The Immerseav experience

Neuroscience, meet virtual reality.

The world's first VR Behavioural Competency Assessment for seafarers, introduced years before SIRE 2.0 made the human element a requirement. We combine cognitive psychology and neuroscience with immersive VR to deliver optimised training, behavioural analysis and skills assessment.

Real behaviour and technical skills are measured together, in one experience, inside a realistic ship working environment, capturing critical data the human eye and brain cannot detect, with no personal bias in the process.

Cognitive science

High-calibre scientists and academics identify and evaluate cognitive behaviour, using a scientific methodology built on the links between mental-health factors and adverse incidents at sea.

Experiential assessment

Qualitative and quantitative data analysis, seafarer profiling and experiential training in realistic and stressful ship conditions, optimising crew synthesis and safety behaviour.

Hiring assessment

Specialised cognitive tasks assess competency and measure reaction under distress, immersing multiple candidates at once to test collaborative skills, with no bias.
