About Us

For over 60 years Warsash Maritime Academy has provided first class training, consultancy and research to the international shipping and offshore oil industries.

The Academy provides certification programmes from cadetships to Class 1 for both deck and engineer officers, short courses to develop skills such as fire fighting and sea survival, and continuing professional development modules for more experienced officers.

Warsash pioneered the use of bridge and engine room simulators for higher level training, and the Liquid Cargo Operations Simulator, which is the most advanced of its kind, was developed in house. Our manned model ship handling training facility is the only one in the United Kingdom, and one of very few in the world.

Warsash Maritime Academy is owned by Southampton Solent University and as such benefits from the strong organisational infrastructure to maintain the highest standards in the training and education provided.

This web site will answer many questions about our courses and facilities and if you need any more information the 'Contact Us' page will help you to find the most appropriate member of staff to assist you.

If you are a young person looking for career information the 'Careers' page, and the links that you can make from it, will tell you about the life and career of a ship's officer in the shipping industry.
