Registered Training Organisations therefore, must also adhere to certification requirements of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) and/or the respective State/Territory Marine Authorities. These requirements are detailed in the respective maritime regulations and codes (i.e. IMO STCW 95 Code and Convention).
