Deck Rating Course

Prepares candidates for entry-level deck crew roles. Covers seamanship, navigation watch duties, mooring operations, cargo handling and shipboard safety. Deck ratings work under the deck officers and are the starting point of the deck career path.

Engine Rating Course

Prepares candidates for the engine room. Covers machinery watchkeeping, routine maintenance, workshop practice and engine room safety. Suited to candidates with a mechanical or technical inclination.

Basic Safety Training (STCW)

The four mandatory STCW modules every seafarer must hold before joining a vessel: personal survival techniques, fire prevention and firefighting, elementary first aid, and personal safety and social responsibility.

Seaman Certificate

Documentation and certification support for candidates preparing to join a vessel, including guidance on INDoS number, CDC and passport formalities.

Diploma in Nautical Science

The academic route towards a deck officer career, for candidates with a Physics, Chemistry and Maths background at 12th standard. Longer and more demanding than the ratings courses, with a correspondingly higher career ceiling.
