Maritime Training & Competence Certification for India

With the sixth largest global economy in terms of GDP, India continues to develop and grow. According to the BP Statistical Review of 2019, India was the third-largest energy consumer in the world (after China and the USA) 2018. India’s need for energy continues to soar as a result of the country’s dynamic economic and population growth.

Primary energy consumption in India nearly tripled between 1990 and 2018. Natural gas accounts for around 6% of the country’s energy consumption and India plans to boost this to 15% by 2030 as part of a plan to reduce air pollution and use cleaner-burning fuels.

A sound economic base has historically provided a ‘land of opportunity’ for entrepreneurs and enterprising businesses, and this also includes opportunities for maritime personnel willing to develop their professional experience and demonstrate competence in essential skills.

To stand out from the crowd when looking for better employment, or when your business puts in a tender for a big contract, being able to demonstrate industry-recognised competence is vital.

MTCS’ independent training and competence certification are industry-recognised and provide the opportunity to do just that.

Whilst MTCS still deliver these corporate courses in the UK for clients with multiple personnel in need of training, the primary requirement from organisations has shifted to online learning through our digital portal, MTCS Online.

Our corporate courses include a number of specialist training courses designed to ensure personnel are best positioned to carry-out their role across a variety of roles in maritime industries.

The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) have defined a number of grades for positions throughout the international maritime industry.

Personnel working in the majority of these grades in India (or for Indian-based organisations) can undertake a MTCS Grade Assessment (GA) if they are looking to work towards their next job role, a process which requires them to be assessed on their competencies in the workplace.

For offshore workers in India seeking a competence certificate for the job they are currently doing, they can complete an Individual Competence Assessment (ICA) in order to gain an MTCS Certificate of Competence.
