Important Before Applying
Confirm Your Requirements First
Applicants must confirm with their employer, vessel operator, crewing agency or relevant authority which Seaman Book, courses and certificates are required for their specific position and vessel.
Incorrect Service or Course Selection
Marine Pro Academy is not responsible if an applicant purchases an incorrect course, Seaman Book or service, or if documentation is not accepted by an employer, vessel, flag state or relevant authority.
Document Quality
Passport copies, certificates, medical documents, licenses and supporting documents must be clear, complete and fully readable. All relevant edges and information must be visible, without blur, reflections, shadows, missing areas, deterioration, damage or altered information.
Processing & Document Delays
Marine Pro Academy is not responsible for delays, replacement requests or rejection caused by incomplete, unclear, damaged, deteriorated or otherwise unsuitable documentation supplied by the applicant.
Approval Is Not Guaranteed
Final approval and acceptance are determined by the applicable authority, employer, vessel operator or other relevant entity. Marine Pro Academy supports the application process but cannot guarantee approval.
Requirements Can Change
Flag-state regulations, employer requirements and authority procedures may change. Additional documentation may therefore be requested during processing.
