Operational Level Officer Engine Training Program

International shipping requires well-trained, competent seafarers to man ships. UMTC is committed to recruiting high achievers from our partner schools in the Philippines and training them to high standards to meet the industry's requirements.

Training Program

UMTC offers a structured training program following a framework for controlled accelerated promotion.

Classroom lectures, practical activities, audio-visual presentations, and computer-based simulations train program trainees and shape them into competent officers.

This is only possible through the faculty member's expertise and knowledge of the maritime industry, which is complemented by the required tools and equipment for practical activities. These top-caliber instructors are instrumental in ensuring the trainees under their charge obtain the skills to master the latest technology and industry operations.

We provide a holistic approach to our programs, including values formation and qualities that will define every trainee and make them leaders in the maritime industry.

Bridging the Education Gap from School to Work 

We provide bridging training to enable BSMarE graduates to fast-track through the ranks to Chief Engineer. The Training Program consists of theoretical, technical, and practical training to ensure the Cadet has the best underpinning knowledge and practical skills required for a Junior Officer onboard a merchant vessel.

The program is split into 3 phases: Pre-sea Training, which is preparatory training enabling them to go onboard and understudy the Engineering Officers. Then, a 6-9-month contract onboarded a vessel to understudy and apply what they had learned in college and during the pre-sea phase. The next phase is a comprehensive block training culminating in a Competency Assessment that tests their ability, aptitude, and confidence to maintain a safe engine watch as the Officer of the Watch.
