Corporate Vision Best Maritime Data Training Provider 2026 & Client Service Excellence Award 2026 Based in Bruce, Canberra, JCJ Consulting is a maritime consultancy company dedicated to delivering innovative and effective solutions to the marine industry. Driven by more than four decades of industry experience and a highly skilled team of experts, the company provides a comprehensive suite of solutions that enhance maritime operations, safety, and sustainability. We spoke with Managing Director Jillian Carson-Jackson for more, as JCJ Consulting is named in the Education and Training Awards 2026. “Preparing maritime professionals for the future.” Bringing together operational, regulatory, and technical maritime expertise, the JCJ Consulting team boasts a proven track record in maritime traffic management, vessel traffic services, regulatory review, maritime education, and training and operational and engineering solutions. Focusing exclusively on andragogy, its team utilises discovery and experiential learning techniques to create real change within the operational maritime environment. With a vested interest in facilitating the future of the maritime industry, JCJ Consulting recognises the importance of ongoing professional development. It offers a comprehensive educational service that covers all elements of the training process, encompassing task analysis, program and curriculum design, development of training materials and assessment tools, and delivery of training using active discovery training techniques. “At JCJ Consulting, our goal has never been simply to ‘deliver training’,” said Jillian. “Our goal is to help shape the future capability of the maritime profession by connecting international best practices with practical operational experience.” Australia boasts a well-established, highly regarded vocational education and training (VET) system, including nationally recognised training packages. Organisations such as Industry Skills Australia and Jobs and Skills Councils play a key role in ensuring that training packages remain aligned with current and emerging workforce needs. This system provides a structured framework that supports consistency, quality assurance, and portability of qualifications across the country. The training that JCJ Consulting provides, however, is unique in that it focuses on international standards in the maritime industry, which are identified through model courses from the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and the International Organisation of Marine Aids to Navigation (IALA). It serves learners from around the world, who require accessible training that meets rigorous regulatory standards and maintains assessment integrity. What’s more, the maritime industry is currently undergoing rapid transformation. Digitalisation, artificial intelligence, remote operations, advanced simulation technologies, and increasing cyber resilience requirements are reshaping the skills profile required of maritime professionals. These advancements require training providers to broaden their scope whilst keeping a close eye on the industry for further emerging developments. “At JCJ Consulting, we see these challenges as opportunities,” stated Jillian. “We work closely with industry stakeholders, regulators, and international organisations to ensure our programmes reflect our core values, focus on andragogical principles, and address global standards. By integrating practical industry experience with contemporary training methodologies, we aim to go beyond compliance and develop critical thinking, collaboration, leadership, and adaptability – ensuring our learners are well prepared for an evolving global maritime environment.” This is a mission pursued by a team of individuals who have served as active members of international organisations – including the IALA VTS and DTEC Committees – and possess a century of combined industry experience. Leveraging this experience, the team has successfully executed projects for countless clients around the world. For its significant contributions to the marine landscape, setting new standards of excellence and empowering through education, JCJ Consulting has earned the Client Service Excellence Award 2026, as well as being named the Best Maritime Data Training Provider 2026. In reflection, Jillian shared, “Receiving this award is a tremendous honour because it recognises not only our technical expertise, but also our commitment to developing people. The maritime industry is entering one of the most significant periods of change in its history, which is blurring the lines between the ship and the shore. The work we do at JCJ Consulting recognises this and promotes visionary thinking. “As technologies evolve, our greatest investment must continue to be in people – and preparing people to work with the tools, not against them. Technology will support decisionmaking, but skilled, adaptable, and ethical professionals will remain at the heart of safe maritime operations.” She concluded, “I would like to thank our clients, partners, and students around the world for placing their trust in JCJ Consulting. Every project is an opportunity for us to learn as well, and that spirit of continuous improvement is something we hope never to lose.” Contact: Jillian Carson-Jackson Company: JCJ Consulting Web Address: www.jcjconsulting.net JCJ Consulting
