Institute of Maritime Education & Training

A globally recognised institution delivering world-class maritime education and professional training.

The Institute of Maritime Education & Training (IMETA) is dedicated to providing first-rate, career-oriented maritime education aligned with international standards. With operations in Australia and Singapore, IMETA delivers globally approved maritime programmes across Asia and the Middle East, regions that contribute significantly to the global maritime workforce.

As one of the pioneers in offering foreign Administration-approved maritime courses outside their home countries, IMETA has introduced a unique and innovative education model. This approach enables students to access world-class maritime training closer to home, resulting in substantial savings in both time and cost while maintaining the highest levels of academic quality and industry relevance.

IMETA has established exclusive academic collaborations with leading maritime institutions, including TAFE NSW (Australia) and the New Zealand Maritime School. Through these partnerships, students progress through a structured three-phase learning pathway that includes academic training at IMETA campuses, approved sea-time combined with distance learning, and final certification conducted in Australia or New Zealand.

Whether you are a school leaver aspiring to begin a maritime career or an experienced seafarer seeking to upgrade your Certificate of Competency, IMETA offers comprehensive training pathways designed to support long-term professional growth and success in the global maritime industry.
