Training

Maritime training education in Denmark is under the management and control of the Danish Maritime Authority.

Important maritime education issues pass through the Maritime Education Council, the members of which are representatives of shipowners and seafarers' associations, lecturers and student organisations, the Royal Danish Navy and the Danish Maritime Authority. The Maritime Education Council is advisory.

The Danish Maritime Authority is responsible for all maritime training and education as well as training ships. For the education and training of ratings and officers (deck and engine), the relevant institutions comprise:

3 schools and 2 sailing training vessels for ratings
1 nautical college, 1 skipper school and 1 private simulator centre for deck officers
1 maritime and education centre for ship’s officers (single and dual purpose deck and engine officers)
4 engineering colleges for engine officers
6 training centres for fire fighting training

The Danish Maritime Authority has established a quality system of its own covering its relations to the quality systems of the institutions and the audit activities influenced by the ISO9001 standards.
