Training and medical in Poland

In Poland, the Ministry of Infrastructure is responsible for STCW policy and recognises maritime education units (morskie jednostki edukacyjne), while the Maritime Offices (Urząd Morski) in Gdynia and Szczecin issue seafarers' certificates and supervise training. The main maritime universities are Gdynia Maritime University and the Maritime University of Szczecin.

The Ministry publishes the list of recognised maritime education units, and the Maritime Office in Gdynia publishes a list of training centres with contact details. Neither list shows each centre's approved courses, so ask the centre for its current course approvals.

Seafarer medical examinations must be done by doctors authorised to examine seafarers; the Maritime Office in Szczecin publishes lists of authorised doctors by voivodeship. The authorisation belongs to the doctor, not the clinic.

The Maritime Office in Gdynia confirms the authenticity of Polish seafarer documents electronically for maritime administrations and shipowners.
