The Training hub for maritime training, research and development of NSML, Maritime Centre of Excellence said it had acquired an international certification from the United Kingdom (UK) Nautical Nature.

The new acquisition is ostensibly to further internationalise the standards of the training hub.

The Managing Director of NSML, Abdulkadir Ahmed made the disclosure in a chat with maritime journalists in Lagos, on Thursday.

He explained that the certification affirms that the professionals trained by the Centre will meet high international expectation in performance, safety and operational readiness.

His words, “This latest certification from the UK Nautical Institute is a strong validation of the quality, rigour, and relevance of the training delivered at the Centre.

“It confirms that the MCOE meets internationally accepted standards for competence development and operational excellence.

“Importantly, this is not the first recognition of its kind, The MCOE is already accredited by DNV under globally recognised standards, including ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management Systems and the DNV-ST-0029 standards for Maritime Simulator and Training Centres.

“These certifications reinforce our commitment to quality, consistency, and excellence in training delivery. Building on this foundation, the MCOE is now licensed by the UK Nautical Institute to deliver key Dynamic Positioning (DP) programmes, including induction, simulator, revalidation, and vessel maintenance courses.

“These include programmes in Gas Tanker Operations, Dynamic Positioning, Human Element Leadership and Management, ECDIS, and High Voltage Training at both operational and management levels. This achievement is particularly significant for Nigeria.”, the NSML Managing Director stressed.

He quoted that the goal behind establishment of MCOE is not a training institution but one that will be a true Centre of Excellence.
