Advanced Diploma

Requirements for achieving an Advanced Diploma are similar to that of the Foundational Diploma. The student must pass examinations in 2 subjects, one of which must be the core subject Shipping Business, the second can be chosen by the candidates among the other offered in our syllabus.

Professional Qualifying Examinations

The Professional Qualifying Examinations (PQE) are the pinnacle of the Institute's qualification. Completion of these exams is synonymous of one's developed knowledge and understanding of the commercial shipping industry.

This recognised professional qualification comprises passed examinations in a total of 7 subjects, four of which must be the Institute's compulsory core subjects in our syllabus. The remaining 3 can be chosen from a list of optional subjects. The seven exams must be passed within a period of five years.
