| Profile of MTA
MARINE TRAINING ACADEMY (MTA), the brainchild of Dr. S.G. KOLI, Director, was born on 23rd April, 1993 under the name of MARINE MEDICAL ACADEMY (MMA)) with the mission to impart First Aid Training to seafarers, thereby assisting them in dispensing proper medical assistance to fellow seafarers in case of a medical emergency, thus helping in minimizing causalities at sea.
Subsequently, with the imposition of various regulations by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and with STCW’95 amendments imposing mandatory training requirements on seafarers, MMA further forayed into training of the seafaring fraternity by expanding their scope of marine training activities in January 1998 by introducing new courses.
The courses conducted at the Academy comply with the requirements of Standards for Training, Certification and Watch keeping convention of 1995 (STCW’95) and are approved by the Director General Of Shipping, Government of India.
Training is imparted by qualified and experienced faculty members using the latest aids for practical demonstration and state of the art equipment supplemented by various books, publications, video films along with presentation aids like overhead projectors, T.V., V.C.R., transparencies etc. The Academy also has an extensive library consisting of all required books and publications.
At the training academy, a conducive atmosphere fostering the spirit of mutual learning between the trainees and trainers is maintained thereby leading to improved interaction between the candidates and faculty members.
The Organisation was rechristened MARINE TRAINING ACADEMY in January 2003.
