I recently had the pleasure of engaging with ECA Maritime College, and I cannot sing their praises enough! From start to finish, my experience was exceptional.
Kelly, one of their stellar staff members, truly stood out. Her expertise in the maritime industry is unparalleled. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but her practical approach to training is refreshing. She goes above and beyond to ensure that every student receives the guidance they need to excel in their maritime endeavors.
The college itself is top-notch. The facilities are modern, well-maintained, and conducive to learning. Whether you’re a seasoned professional looking to further your career or a newcomer to the maritime world, ECA Maritime College has something to offer everyone.
I wholeheartedly recommend ECA Maritime College to anyone seeking quality maritime education.
Thank you, Kelly, and the entire team, for your dedication to excellence!

Great experience with these guys.
the flexibility of the online course worked well for me.

also Harry is a weapon.

I attended this school last year in a Master<24NC course. I am now certified and confident having done so. I am so grateful that I was able to be at ECA for the course with the knowledgeable help of tutors and admin staff. I learned valuable skills while learning at my own pace. If you want to give yourself a stellar education while nurturing the growth, to become a confident master then I encourage you to seek out ECA. The online course made living in Aotearoa New Zealand easy without the challenges of attending in class sessions. I look forward to doing another course with ECA soon.

Thank you, Jarrad. It is great to hear you enjoyed our new platform. It is the way of the future. See you for your MED 1 upgrade.
Brilliant! I highly recommend this innovative Maritime training establishment.
I have recently completed the Master <45m course after being a student in the inaugural online Master <24m in 2020. I returned to ECA because the course is online and convenient. The unique online-only course environment is suitable to individuals but also would benefit organisations that want to train their staff efficiently and effectively. It can be self-paced or conducted in an online classroom environment with an instructor. The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, excellent and approachable. They taught me valuable skills and techniques that I can apply to water. Further, the administration processes were simple and easy. I did not have any issues with registration, payment or communication. This course was a great investment for my career and I learned a lot from it. I had a great time and value the experience of getting on board their training vessel which has an incredibly rich history. Thank you ECA!
I have just completed an M<24 NC certificate with ECA. The online content and resources exceeded my expectations and the instructors are both knowledgeable and encouraging. The support from ECA was excellent. Thanks very much.

It was an absolute pleasure working with you Peter and we look forward to seeing you back for your Master 45M.
Great school, people and course. Was part of the inaugural online training (Master 5) via Zoom, had no issues with presentations or theory components, exams done online. Interaction and banter between students was still there, we worked at a comfortable pace and I never felt rushed. Also had the luxury and comforts of a home environment. Overall happy student, I will look, and happily recommend to anyone Eca Maritime for my/their next course and ticket. Now just getting my seahours….thats a slow process

My experience with ECA Maritime College is not only the most professional but also friendly and pleasant learning experience I have had in an educational setting. All courses are clearly outlined and the equipment is of the highest quality! All trainers are extremely knowledgeable as well as helpful. I actually had fun as well as gained the skills and understanding I needed. Highly recommend!

I have a lot to thank Eca Maritime for, the hours they spent with me not only in classes but after class tuition if I didn’t understand something was more than appreciated, the whole team at Eca went above and beyond their call of duty to help me and a few other students, I now own my own vessel and have a crew and I will have no hesitation in sending them to kelly and her crew at eca for training,

I found the course to be very relevant to my job. The instructor was very good at his job, clear and concise in his teaching and I’d recommend it to any 1. The course was really well done, the trainer’s subject knowledge was high and showed excellent student teacher relation. Thank you for the easy going and enjoyable course.

I found ECA Maritime through Google. The level of knowledge of the trainer and the amount of varied subjects were a strong point of the course. The trainers knowledge of the industry and course subjects was a major strength and his way of helping students understand. This course was excellent overall and I have enrolled in two courses. Thank you ECA Maritime.

Some of the strengths of the college are the location, time frame and delivery. The balance of Prac vs Theory is adequate given the compressed time frame. The trainer is well experienced and the delivery is excellent.
Instructors are very knowledgeable and good educators.
Andy is easy to relate to and has a great way of putting things so that there were understandable.
Hi Shelda. Just letting you know I passed my orals. Thanks to the college, and to you personally, for all of your assistance.

Thank you ECA Maritime College for your assistance in getting me through my Coxswain Course. I have just successfully completed my MSQ oral exam and have passed my orals. Thanks for all your help Andy and the team at the Brisbane office.
The trainer takes what ever time is required to explain point so that individuals who had trouble understood. The trainer had patience in getting everyone to understand the course content.
