We provide high-quality education and training for the maritime industries to meet the growing international demand for crew, officers, and captains trained to the highest professional standards. We offer internationally recognised certification programmes for navigation (deck), marine engineer and marine electro-technical officers, from initial entry as an officer cadet up to Master (Captain) and Chief Engineer level. We also provide a range of opportunities for professional and personal development up to master’s degree level. In addition to the academic and certification programmes, we provide several short safety courses (mandatory and non-mandatory) for maritime personnel to develop skills such as fire fighting, medical and sea survival, while continuous professional development modules are offered for more experienced officers.
