national maritime college of ireland

The National Maritime College of Ireland NMCI is the first third level college in Ireland to be built under the Government’s Public-Private Partnership scheme. The public partners are the Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) and the Irish Naval Service (INS) and the private partner is Focus Education.

The college offers both commercial offshore training courses and public degree courses. This model allows the college management and teaching staff to concentrate on education while the private partner is responsible for services to the college and the maintenance of facilities.

The commercial course schedule is released at the end of August every year. NMCI can also tailor courses to suit the particular requirements of maritime companies. Clients from the port operations area have worked with NMCI to develop customized training on the state of the art marine simulators. NMCI can also provide a suite of courses for companies looking to train their employees in numerous maritime short courses.
