ELKINS Marine Training International (EMTI) is an international maritime training and consultancy firm, with its world headquarters located in California , USA . EMTI provides the highest-quality training curriculum courses to the maritime and offshore industry worldwide.

EMTI courses and certificates are also recognized by many other maritime administrations around the world; EMTI can, and has, provided assistance to other countries in the establishment of their own certification and licensing systems.

Elkins' courses are guaranteed to meet the standards required by the STCW-95 Convention for inclusion in the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) “white list.” It's a short-cut for institutions/organizations to offer leading-edge model courses without the extended time curve and monetary investment typically required by such an endeavor.

Below is a brief on our operation in Nigeria : EMTI ( Nigeria ) Ltd. EMTI ( Nigeria ) Limited was developed at the urging of the United Nations International Maritime Organization (IMO). Nigeria was a heavily-trafficked maritime region with no internationally- standardized maritime training, and in 1999, EMTI was specifically approached by the IMO for this purpose, because of its international maritime expertise. As a result, a joint venture agreement was signed with a highly-respected Nigerian company - Hu-Fy Systems Ltd. Lagos, and the Training Academy was opened in November, 2000. Our institution in Lagos provides STCW-95 compliant training in professional and technical subjects required by the STCW-95 Convention, SOLAS, ISM Code, and ISPS Code including GMDSS General Operator's Certificate, Basic Safety Training, Tank Ship Courses, Security Courses, plus a full range of ancillary courses required by mariners and offshore personnel who need to meet the latest international requirements for certification.
