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.

Salvatore
Master, Short Course in an Introduction to the ISM Code

I thoroughly enjoyed the course

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

Recently completed my Diploma in Superyacht Management and it was a 10/10 experience. The MTA team are great are answering all my questions at 2am. Being on the other side of the world while trying to complete this didn't impact the level of response at all! Looking forward to completing another diploma later this year!
