South West Maritime Academy

Excellent training centre! Staff are very knowledgeable and good fun and the facilities are great. Particularly like the use of the quarry for survival training, makes it seem more realistic than a heated swimming pool! Will definitely be returning for more courses in the future.

My experience in this school has been wonderful. The facilities are very complete, and the treatment of the administration is very good. Jon and Andrew the teachers are very professional and patient. I recommend it to anyone who needs to train in the maritime sector

I attended South West Maritime Academy for my Sea Survival course. Having the quarry and ability to enter the water from height is a great advantage over training in a swimming pool as it prepares you for what it might be like to enter the water in a realistic way (i.e. water temperature, outdoor weather, etc.). The instructor was very knowledgably, the course material was covered at good (correct) pace and I feel comfortable with working at sea as a result. I would have no problem recommending them for anyone needing this type of training and I will contact them again when a refresher is needed or something else they cover is required by me or my employer.
