Benefits of Training at PMI:

Complete all your training from Ordinary Seaman to Master Mariner in one place at PMI.

Whether you are just getting started in the maritime industry or are well on your way to a Captain's License, we have a training program that will take you to the next level.

PMI provides comprehensive training that is focused on your success beyond the classroom.

 

Full Mission Simulation

PMI has a Full Mission Bridge Simulator and is currently offering visual simulation-based courses. Simulation will allow our students to receive the majority of practical assessments at our facility so the inconvenience of onboard assessments can be minimized. Training offered with the use of our simulator can be customized and classes involving the simulator are extraordinarily valuable for seafarers experience and knowledge.

Blind Bridge Simulation

PMI has been using Blind Bridge Simulators for the past 7 years. These simulators drive our ARPA and ECDIS equipment and provide a realistic, real time environment to learn equipment operation and application in underway scenarios. VHF communications and use of actual ARPA from Furuno, Sperry, Raytheon and Decca provide a wide range of experience for our students.
