Frequently Asked Questions

What certificate will I receive after completing the course?
Upon successful completion, you will receive a digital certificate confirming your course completion. The type of certificate and any applicable flag State, STCW, or other regulatory approval are clearly stated on the individual course page.

Is the certificate officially approved or internationally recognized?
Approval and recognition depend on the specific course. Some Marine Pro Academy courses are delivered under recognized flag State or training-provider approvals, while others are professional development or maritime e-learning courses resulting in a Marine Pro Academy Certificate of Completion. Please refer to the individual course description for the exact approval and certification status.

Is this course STCW or flag State approved?
Where a course carries STCW, Panama, Liberia, Cyprus, or another official approval, this is specifically stated on the product page. Courses that do not display an approval are offered as professional training or continuing education and issue a Marine Pro Academy Certificate of Completion.

Is the training 100% online?
Yes. Unless otherwise stated on the individual course page, the training is delivered fully online and can be completed at your own pace.

Can I take the training on my phone?
Yes. Our online learning platform can be accessed from a mobile phone, tablet, or computer. For the best experience, some activities may be easier to complete on a larger screen.

How fast do I receive my certificate?
E-learning certificates are available immediately after successful completion of the course and required assessments. STCW and flag-state-approved certificates can take up to 48 hours after successful completion and receipt of all required documents, depending on the relevant issuing authority’s verification and approval process. Time zones and local office working hours may affect processing and response times. Please complete your training at least a couple of days before your document submission or deployment deadline. Same-day issuance cannot be guaranteed.

Can I use the certificate for employment?
This depends on the course and your employer’s, vessel’s, flag State’s, or competent authority’s requirements. We recommend checking the certification requirements applicable to your position before purchasing. If you are unsure, contact Marine Pro Academy and we can help you identify the appropriate training.
