Dear Colleague

As the first international qualification for marine surveyors, Lloyd's Maritime Academy and the National Sea Training Centre have now been educating marine surveyors, potential marine surveyors and associated maritime professionals since 1998. Since the beginning over 1,800 participants from all corners of the world have taken or are currently taking the Diploma in Marine Surveying.

The course is designed primarily to support the valuable and important work that marine surveyors around the world carry out and it also aims to help recruit future surveyors, not just from the dwindling number of seafaring professionals, but also from non-seafarers that have the academic ability and an interest in learning about marine surveying. This course provides the knowledge to assist in a person's personal and professional development towards becoming an informed, professional marine surveyor.

The maritime world is truly international and in order to give marine surveyors and seafarers every opportunity to study, delivery by distance learning has been chosen because this method eliminates geographical boundaries and barriers. In addition to hard copies, all modules will also be available from the course website. This provides students with the opportunity to interact with other participants on the course in a secure and dedicated environment.

The Diploma in Marine Surveying meets the Continuing Professional Development criteria for the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) and is also approved by the Nautical Institute.

Successful completion of the course also provides a credit rating towards an Open University undergraduate degree as well as towards the units required to obtain a masters degree at Middlesex University. The Open University offers further study by distance learning and Middlesex University has in place a work-based learning degree programme for successful Diploma candidates.

We are confident you will find that this unique Diploma provides you with a level of knowledge and skill that will benefit you and your employer.

We look forward to receiving your application to enrol
