Abstract

The development and transformation of a web-based information system at the special skills training (DKK) Bumi Akpelni Polytechnic Semarang needs to be done in order to provide time efficiency and increase professionalism in maritime certification services. The system used in this training unit to manage its operational activities is still manual and considered inefficient. Therefore, the author has the idea to change the old system into a new system, namely a web-based information system. This new system will make it easier to manage participant registration, schedule participants and instructors, disseminate information and create reports so that it can save time, energy and costs in managing training activities later. The research method used in this research is the Research and Development (R&D) method, namely to develop new knowledge and apply it in making new products, services or technology. The results of the research show that: 1) A new special skills training information system, created with web-based programming that is integrated with a database server, 2) Helps in wider promotional media and can make the registration process more effective and efficient both in entering participant data that has been completed. can be carried out by the participants themselves, processing the list of training participants, conveying information on the list of participants and the training implementation period to training participants and also making it easier to make training reports. 3) The new special skills training information system was created so that the training implementation process is more time efficient and supports the training process. From this study, it is hoped that the special skills training unit (DKK) of Akpelni Earth Polytechnic can provide better and faster service, so that training participants can feel satisfaction in carrying out training and taking or extending the validity period of maritime certification in order to comply with existing regulations.
