Please read below for reasons why you should consider Western Maritime Training as your preferred STCW and commercial maritime training solution provider. 

Located in central Plymouth Devon, with easy access to road and rail and with free parking, we offer training for mariners at every level, from STCW basic safety training to preparation for MCA Master Unlimited CoC Oral Examinations. All of our instructors are Master Mariners or technical specialists and all hold professional training qualifications.

We pride ourselves in doing more than simply delivering a syllabus and providing exam passes.

For commercial clients we are able to provide flexible training portfolios tailored to specific requirements, we can offer bespoke training and consultancy to help clients maximise efficiency within their training programmes. 

For individuals we can offer tailored packages.

In addition, we offer mentoring and support for individuals. This ranges from assistance in identifying the correct qualifications for your chosen career path, to help with completing application forms for MCA examinations, funding or grant applications.

Facilities: Our main classroom is equipped with a Transas Full Mission Bridge Simulator and three smaller simulation stations and is used for teaching courses such as ECDIS, NAEST and Superyacht navigation courses. We also have a GMDSS Radio Studio, for teaching ROC and GOC courses with the latest software and touchscreens. This is equipped with live MF, HF, VHF and Navtex sets and Transas GMDSS simulators for each student which are used for Inmarsat system simulation and for scenario and communication exercises.

In addition we have large selection of specialist equipment and facilities to assist in our training delivery, including a dedicated workshop with a working marine diesel engine for the teaching of MCA 30 hour Diesel Engine AEC 1 and AEC 2 courses.

We have 30 years experience  in commercial shipping and port sector operations. All of our Instructors are fully qualified master mariners or equivalent with appropriate teaching qualifications. Quality instruction at a fair price is what brings our customers back to us as they progress their their careers. Please don't confuse us with RYA centres providing similar courses. 

We dont contract out our Fire training to third party fire training providers like many RYA centres do. We own and run our dedicated Fire training facility catering for Basic 2 day fire and basic refresher courses. This facility will soon expand in 2020 to deliver Advanced Fire training services.
