Designed to train future Marine Engineers, the curriculum covers marine systems, vessel operations, transport logistics, maritime law, safety protocols, and ship management. We offer flexible pathways, including an early career option through our nested Advanced Diploma, allowing you to qualify as an Engineer Watchkeeper after just two years. All programs meet the rigorous STCW Convention (2010 amendments) standards for seafarer training and certification.
