Training and medical in India

In India, seafarer training and certification are regulated by the Directorate General of Shipping, now the Directorate General of Maritime Administration (DGMA), in Mumbai. It issues certificates of competency, continuous discharge certificates and STCW certificates of proficiency, and approves maritime training institutes (MTIs) and their courses.

The approved institute list on the e-Samudra system shows each institute's status (approved, suspended or closed) and, for each course, whether it is active, lapsed or obsolete. Institutes and courses can be suspended, so check the current list before paying for a course.

Seafarer medical examinations must be done by medical examiners approved by the DGMA under the Merchant Shipping (Medical Examination) Rules, 2000. The DGMA publishes a regular list of approved doctors and a separate list of suspended doctors.

You can verify Indian seafarer documents, including CoC, CDC and certificates of proficiency, through the DGMA Seafarer Certificate Verification System. Beware of agents offering certificates without attending an approved institute.
