School of Maritime Training
Welcome to the home page of the School of Maritime Training at the Warsash Maritime Academy.
We conduct a wide variety of short courses in the following areas:
-
Courses to comply with STCW certification requirements for personnel serving aboard merchant ships or commercial yachts.
-
OPITO approved safety courses for the offshore oil and gas industry.
-
Continuing professional development for seafarers at all levels – from new entrants to senior Masters, ships’ pilots and Chief Engineers. Some courses have been designed to meet individual company requirements.
Most of our courses are held on our campus at Warsash, but if it is appropriate to do so, we can also conduct training aboard ship or at other external locations.
Our staff are all specialists in their subject areas and we have an international reputation for the quality and professionalism of our training provision and in our ability to satisfy our customers’ training needs.
Whether you require training in maritime and offshore safety, fire fighting, first aid and medical care, radio communications, ship handling, bridge and engine room resource management, or training in the application of navigation, radar and ECDIS techniques, we are here to help you.
My staff and I look forward to welcoming you to Warsash Maritime Academy.
