The following are the latest list of Seaman and Maritime schools in the Philippines Accredited by CHED and Marina as of 2019. If you dream to become a seaman or seafarer, you must know the accredited training centers and schools before you take your BSMT and BSMarE courses and programs. It is important that the institution is approved by Marina – Maritime Industry Authority in the country and CHED (Commission on Higher Education). Having completed basic seaman training can make your dreams come true of working in the prestigious shipping companies here and overseas. You can also apply to the Navy if you want. BSMT and BSMarE are just one of the keys to level up your marine career job.
Seaman Maritime Schools Philippines 2019
BSMT means Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation while BSMarE is Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering. You can aspire to positions such as merchant marine vessel officer or marine engineer officer and the like.
Benefits of Working as a Seaman or Seafarer:
- Higher salary and compensation
- Paid leave
- The opportunity to travel
- Stepping stone to higher ranks/officer positions
If you are wondering how to become one, I recommend you read our page about how to become a seaman in the Philippines. The page includes the requirements and processing too until getting your seaman’s book. In the meantime, know first where you want to enroll for your maritime job. The following are the list of accredited maritime and seaman schools nationwide. You can have your training and program to the school near you.

Accredited po ba sa CHED ang Abraham Dumlao College? Saka po. Nag-conduct po sila ng SOLAS, accredited po ba sila sa maritime? Hindi daw po makakagraduate pag wala nun. Salamat.
gusto ko po sana magtanong or mag share give me advice…my son enrolled last year in Fernadez Institute of technology in Baliwag Bulacan, sabi nung iba last year p daw hindi binigyan ng permit yung school for marine course pero nakita ko nman sa list na kasama pa rin..
marami po kami naguguluhan dahil sobrang mahal po ng tuition na sinisingil nila bukod pa po sa separate payment yung mga trainings e halos katumbas na po ng 1 sem tuition fee.
like last year nag training po cla 1 week sa cebu binayaran ko po 12 thousand pesos and this coming second sem daw po SOLAS is 17 thousand pesos hindi po ba sobra na!!! tapos malaman namin na may problema pala cla sa marina at hindi daw cla matutulungan or mabbgyan ng COC,
bakit po cla nag accept ng studyante kung wala cla permit.
gusto ko po sana ma imbestigahan nyo ang school na yan…

I’m from Palompon Institute of Technology (Reg VIII) and it only costs 250/Unit on maritime courses here. Training center (NSTC – Netherlands Shipping Training Centre) is within the school campus too.
I have been to Palompon, Leyte last May. We went to Kalanggaman Island and it was so beautiful. Bike rentals in Palompom are only P10 per hour, that is so nice!
how mouch would cost if I study this course in palompon in 1 whole year? or how much would cost per semester?
I would like to suggest an edit about the “John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University Arevalo, Iloilo City BSMT, BSMarE” JBLFMU-Arevalo only offers BSMT while JBLFMU-Molo offers the BSMarE course.
Thank you for the heads up. I made the edits now 🙂
