What Maritime Training Schools Aspire To

Like other maritime training schools, Quality Maritime Training (QMT), LLC, offers U.S. Coast Guard approved and STCW-95 compliant training courses and programs. Unlike other maritime training schools, we provide our students the guidance and education they need to become skilled, proficient and safe mariners - this is where QMT truly excels.

We equip you not just with the certification you need to complete the STCW OICNW modules or captain's six pack license, but the solid foundation of knowledge necessary to advance your career further in the long run.

A number of schools offer programs and courses such as STCW Rating Forming Part of the Navigational Watch (RFPNW) or proficiency in survival craft and do an excellent job of marketing their services, but not necessarily such a complete job of delivering actual training or any real education. Some schools even fail to explain the regulatory rules for the mariner to successfully complete their respective program or course. This does little for the mariner, who pays for a "course" may get a certificate, but still is not sure what to do next.

Coast Guard Captain License - No Shortcuts

At Quality Maritime Training, we recognize there are no shortcuts to preparing our students for their seafaring careers. Coast Guard captain license courses, for example, are geared specifically to the training you need to fulfill the U.S. Coast Guard requirements for charter boat and small passenger vessel operation.

STCW Training

The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers - was first drafted in 1978, and later amended by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 1995. This convention sets strict STCW training standards for mariners from support to management level.

Our instructors are trained, experienced professionals in the maritime trades, who are well equipped to provide insightful learning to our students. Students seeking STCW training can rely on these instructors, not only for an insider's knowledge of the industry and a well-rounded, relevant education, but also for guidance on what classes the student may need to complete - without unnecessary or irrelevant coursework.

Meeting STCW OICNW Requirements

Mariners working toward certification from support to operational level as an Officer in Charge of Navigational Watch, OICNW, can count on Quality Maritime Training to provide the guidance they need to complete all the coursework necessary for proper, timely certification.

We know that as a prospective student you are conscientious about the laws and regulations governing the maritime industry, and what you need to do to comply with U.S. Coast Guard rules. Our program is geared specifically - and thoroughly - toward providing you the information and training you need to meet these regulations.

Additionally, we've constructed our Web site to aid you in finding information about training and certification coursework to meet these regulations, as well as the most up-to-date information on regulatory changes that affect the mariner.

Quality Maritime Training's coursework and curriculum are structured to provide a wide range of training options, from apprentice mate (steersman) training as you work toward a Master of Towing, to courses to prepare you for your Coast Guard captain license, according to the Coast Guard or the International STCW Convention.
