Fiji Maritime Academy is a college that trains students how to be ships' officers, located in Suva, the capital of Fiji. [1] [2]
In the 1970s Fiji National University contained a School of Maritime Studies. [2] Political unrest disrupted the University.[ citation needed] In 2014 the government of Fiji called upon the Colombo International Nautical & Engineering College, an institution in Sri Lanka, to help re-establish a nautical college. The Academy became operational in 2015. [3] The Academy was the first post-secondary institution in Fiji to be ISO certified. [4]
According to the Fiji Sun, the Academy's $3 million bridge simulator was the most advanced in the Pacific. [3]
The Academy's diplomas are issued through Fiji National University. [5] The Academy's programs allow students to qualify for credentials recognized by the International Maritime Organization.
The Fiji Navy provides students with two weeks of "boot camp", to help the students acquire discipline and "officer like qualities". [6]
The Fiji Maritime Academy will be introducing a 'masters course' into their learning curriculum from next year at its Laucala Campus.
Initially founded in 1970 by expatriates in Fiji, the FMA, which is a part of the Fiji National University (FMU), was a renowned maritime institution in its heyday.
The Fiji Maritime Academy (FMA) is on the right track to become one of the finest maritime training institutions in the region with a history-making launch planned for March 9.
The Fiji Maritime Academy (FMA) has commenced with new programmes in alignment with the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) giving local seafarers international recognition.
It was not expected that in two weeks the cadets would learn all the attributes, but they have been given a great foundation to start thinking about improving some of their capabilities.
