Our Latest Courses
STCW Security Training
Amendments to STCW mean that everyone employed or engaged on board ships must now have an approved STCW security training certificate. For the first time, this includes concessionaires and hotel staff on cruise ships.
Our STCW Security Training courses are flag approved by the UK MCA, Isle of Man and Liberia Flag.
Approved Test Centres
Approved Test Centres agree to maintain minimum testing standards as agreed with the UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA). Passing the Marlins Test at an Marlins approved Test Centre is acceptable evidence of competency in English and candidates who pass the minimum English language requirements will be able to satisfy the MCA’s language requirements for Certificates of Equivalent Competency.
Under the Merchant Shipping Regulations (1977), officers serving on UK Merchant ships are required to hold a UK certificate of competency or UK Certificate of Equivalent Competency. Marlins has a network of Approved Test Centres worldwide.
