Merchant Navy Orientation Program
Course Description:
The Merchant Navy Orientation Program (MNOP) is a 90 Day course designed for people who want to work in the merchant navy after completing their 10th standard and have a low budget. It’s an excellent opportunity for individuals to gain awareness and training about the merchant navy.
The program includes a mandatory course called STCW (Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping). This course teaches candidates essential skills and knowledge to ensure their safety and the crew’s safety while on board a ship. It covers various scenarios that can occur at sea and provides strategies for managing them effectively.
Our objective is to prepare highly qualified merchant mariners with the technical and soft skills required for a successful career in the Merchant Navy. We strive to offer the best training to our candidates to enable them to succeed in their careers. After successful completion of the training, we also help place the trained crew on board vessels under our management.
