The Seamen's Church Institute is a dedicated advocate for the personal and professional well-being of merchant seafarers the world over. Through its Center for Maritime Education, Center for Seafarers' Services and the Center for Seafarers' Rights, the Institute cares for the safety, dignity and improved working and living conditions for all those who go down to the sea in ships.

Founded in 1 834, the Institute today is an ecumenical agency serving the needs of seafaring people of all races, creeds and nationalities.

The goals of the Center for Maritime Education are to improve the seafarer's professional capabilities and these goals are accomplished through advisory services and high-quality training courses and programs designed to meet the ever-changing needs of the maritime industry.

Courses vary from a program of guided study to upgrade seafarers to the levels required to sit for the

United States Coast Guard license examinations to programs utilizing state-of-the-art simulation equipment consisting of four simulated, interactive ship bridges with extensive navigational areas. Whatever the nature of the training, whether it is a tutorial on a one-to-one basis or one utilizing sophisticated simulation equipment, the Center for Maritime Education provides quality instruction provided by expert and well-trained instructors who care and whose sole aim is to serve the training needs of the seafarer.

The quality of the course content, flexibility of the training programs, attention to the client needs and the expertise of instruction have already earned us a reputation of setting new standards in maritime training.

We care for the training needs of all seafarers from individuals seeking license preparation to companies requiring custom-designed training programs. So give us a call, (212) 233-2242, and we will provide you with details of all our courses. If the type of course you are seeking is not listed then we will design one for you based on your special requirements. We also encourage you to visit our facility at 241 Water Street in Lower
