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 internationally recognised certification programmes| for both deck and engineer officers from cadet level to Master (Captain) and Chief Engineer. Short safety courses to develop skills such as fire fighting and sea survival, and continuous professional development modules for more experienced officers are also offered.
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 a faculty of Southampton Solent University| and as such benefits from the strong organisational infrastructure to maintain the highest standards in the training and education provided. John Millican is the Dean and Director of the Academy, which became a faculty of SSU in 2008.
