About International Institute for Certified Maritime Crew (IICMC)
Founded to bridge the gap between aspiration and opportunity, IICMC was established by maritime leaders with decades of experience at sea and in maritime operations. We recognized the need for locally rooted, internationally aligned training that prepares crew for the realities of global maritime work — from merchant ships and cruise lines to offshore support and yacht operations.
The International Institute for Certified Maritime Crew (IICMC) is a world-focused maritime training institute committed to nurturing competent, safety-driven, and internationally deployable maritime professionals. Based in Kenya with an African maritime hub and a global outlook, we blend international standards with real-world readiness. IICMC is a professional maritime education and training institution producing competent, compliant, and safety‑conscious maritime personnel for international deployment. Our programs support entry‑level seafarers, cadets, experienced crew, and maritime professionals seeking certification, upskilling, or re‑certification.

Through international partnerships, industry-aligned training, and innovation-driven learning, we prepare our trainees to engage with global maritime challenges and contribute to safe, sustainable operations at sea.”
