This course is very good

It is definitely a good Idea - especially if working in or planning to work in, maritime operations, ship management, or safety compliance.

I undertook the course while working in a fast-paced environment. Six-months were enough to not just to read to pass the assessment, but majorly to understand the aspects of the topics covered.

I was interested in joining the yachting industry and decided to take the short course. It provides introductory level of information for the super-yacht industry that was very interesting and useful for someone interested in this. I ended up working for a Marine Fire and Safety company that works with superyachts so I am happy to say that the knowledge I gained was useful in my professional development. The MTA team was highly supportive throughout the course and available for questions at all times. I definitely recommend them
