OUR COMPANY

United Marine Training Center (UMTC) is a high-quality maritime educational institution providing world-class instruction and training to seafarers. Our mandate is to develop them into highly competent marine professionals who are well-prepared to face the challenges of the shipping industry.

OUR SERVICES

We provide comprehensive cadet and upgrading training programs to all seafarers to augment their skills and be fully acquainted with the actual demands of the industry. We also develop customized programs to suit company-specific needs.

Our quality-oriented team is composed of 50 full-time instructors and 50 non-teaching staff. Our standards are high, and our methods are comprehensive. Our facilities, workshops, laboratories, and equipment are state-of-the-art. We employ all these to ensure our trainees live up to their full potential and are developed into determined, service-oriented, and outstanding seafarers who are great assets to their companies and the whole industry.

OUR HISTORY

We are the product of more than two decades of Marlow Navigations’ pursuit of excellence and innovation in the maritime sector.
Established and named Marlow Navigation Training Center (MNTC) in 1998 in a single lecture room doubling as the office and another room for culinary training. In 2004, we expanded our operations to further fulfill the growing need for well-trained seafarers. This led to the setting up of three more classrooms for the cadet training program, a computer laboratory, and a culinary center. We finally moved to our present site in the heart of Manila in 2008, providing training for up to 40,000 seafarers annually.

In 2015, we changed our name to United Marine Training Center to more accurately represent the spirit of collaboration and commitment our company espouses. We keep expanding, enhancing, and improving to continue providing world-class training to seafarers.
