We deliver face-to-face training from our base in Tasmania, our study centre in Sydney or on location in Australia and around the world. With the largest range of maritime short courses in the Southern Hemisphere, many of our courses are offered online and are completed by students at their own pace.

Over 50% of our training is bespoke, developed to meet the specific needs of our clients and delivered anywhere in the world.

For over 25 years we have provided Patrol Boat training for 12 Pacific nations under contract from Australian Defence. We train patrol boat staff in all aspects of operation, from cook to captain, as well as providing accommodation, food, travel and medical and pastoral care.

I live in Western Australia but have always travelled to AMC Search to revalidate my certificate due to the professionalism of the AMC Search team, the course material and the lecturers' relevant knowledge of all the subjects. The accommodation and the on campus eating venue are convenient and the simulator centre is excellent.
