About IMSO

Training with purpose, from first steps to advanced practice.

IMSO International provides practical maritime training for recreational boaters, developing skippers and people who work on the water.

Who we are
Our courses follow a structured progression, so you can see what you are learning and what comes next. We combine time on the water with the theory that explains it, and we are straightforward about what each course does and does not cover.
Who we serve
We work with people new to boating, skippers building experience, professionals and employers who need training for a role, organisations interested in delivering IMSO courses, and certificate holders who need support.
How we teach
Instruction is practical and paced to the people in front of us. We explain why a technique matters as well as how to do it, so skills hold up when conditions change.
Our relationship with ITS and IWCT
International Training Services (ITS) and International Well Control Training (IWCT) are related specialist services for oil, gas and well-control training. We keep their enquiries and certificate services separate from IMSO so your request reaches the right team.
