Marine Training The Way It Should Be
We offer our clients current updates with any changes to the Maritime Licence issues relevant to their qualifications. There are major changes happening that may affect your situation or even your chosen pathway.
Over the years there have been some very significant changes with the Maritime Authority. All new marine licences issued will allow you to work nationally in Australia. There are no longer orals with the Authorities you must complete a practical assessment with an approved AMSA provider called an AMPA.
All new licences are now issued by Australian Maritime Safety Authority. To access all the new information please visit – AMSA.
We have been authorised to assess our clients under AMSA to offer the required AMSA AMPA.

KELLY HARVIE- CEO/ FOUNDER
I started this business so I could still play a role in the maritime industry. I was very fortunate to have a father who loved the ocean and encouraged me from an early age sailing sabot’s to later crewing on the family charter yacht. I previously worked and lived in Fort Lauderdale running my own Yacht Detailing Company including crewing on deliveries and boat shows.
My most memorable delivery was across the Atlantic Ocean as Mate on board 38’yacht, stopping in Bermuda, Azores and then Gibraltar. On returning to Australia I have experienced working on Mother Ships, Trawlers, Cargo, Tourism Day boats.
