ELECTRO-TECHNICAL OFFICERS’ PROGRAMME

Do you desire to be a professional seafarer? Do you intend working at sea as a professional Electrical/Electronic Engineer? The opportunity is here now.

The Marine Electro-technical Officer (ETO) is one of the most vital positions in the technical hierarchy of a ship. Advancement in technology on board merchant vessels and off-shore installations has called for the upgrading of the competence of ships’ personnel. The need therefore has arisen for qualified Electrical/Electronic personnel to be trained with expertise in the areas of marine communication, electronic navigation, electro-technology, computerization, automation and control systems to man ships and offshore installations.

The Electro-technical Officers (ETO) Course is the only course designed to train Electrical Engineers who wish to make seafaring a career. To be eligible to serve on board ship or other marine installations as ETOs, this course is mandatory in order to obtain eligibility to appear for the ETO Certificate of Competency (COC) examination and the subsequent award of Certificates of Competency by the Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA). Prospects of availability of jobs abound all over the world in internationally recognized and reputable companies.

The Regional Maritime University therefore, undertakes to run the Electro-technical Officers course.
