The Maritime Skills Academy

Setting New Standards Together

The Maritime Skills Academy is one of the UK’s top training centres for maritime and non-maritime training courses.

Since opening in 2016, the MSA has served thousands of delegates who are looking to kick-start their careers at sea and require their STCW Basic Safety Training. However, we provide much more than that.
