Training Certification  

ABS Training Solutions offers an independent third-party review and assessment of the facilities, courses and instructors for maritime education organizations. The certification program verifies that the training is uniform in quality and meets specific minimum criteria based on development, content, delivery and quality management standards.

ABS’ criteria are based on the best training practices from major ship management companies. The Certification of Maritime Training (CMT) program aligns with the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) and other applicable national and flag State requirements and recognized industry guidelines for maritime training.

Benefits of ABS' CMT Certification

  • Demonstrate that your training facility’s course development, maintenance, delivery, evaluation and improvement cycles adhere to an approved systematic process
  • Receive approval from a recognized Quality Standards System (QSS) organization, as required by STCW
  • Reduce the overall effort required and minimize costs to achieve and maintain maritime training certification
  • Distinguish your training program from other non-certified competitors, thereby improving your business reputation and market presence
  • Improve internal audits by focusing on continual improvement

Our auditors with maritime training experience will conduct an integrated audit of your training facility, course materials and trainers to ensure that your organization delivers the required level of training for mariners.

Once certified, you will receive a specialized logo and promotional evidence that can be shared with third parties and clients.
