International Maritime Organization – IMO
The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, as amended, establishes standards of competence for seafarers internationally.
In order to assist in the uniform interpretation of the STCW Convention, the IMO agreed on a number of clarifications on the provisions of the Convention and also developed new guidelines to assist participants in fulfilling the obligations of the Convention.
For global marine training institutes, IMO has also developed a series of model courses that provide proposed programs, course schedules and learning objectives to assist instructors in developing training programs to meet STCW standards for seafarers.
The Brazilian Maritime Authority, the Brazilian Navy, follows these standards. Courses homologated by the Navy through the DPC are internationally recognized.
