The objective of the offered Lifelong educational course is to update and upgrade the engineering knowledge level of participants who have
completed their undergraduate and/or post graduate studies and are already working or are interested to be hired in modern shipping companies worldwide.

Target Group:
– Naval Architects
– Marine Engineers
– Mechanical Engineers
– Electrical and Automation Engineers
– Fleet Managers and Superintendent Engineers Operators

Course Learning Results:
Following the successful course completion, the trainee will:
– Obtain the upgraded knowledge foundation concerning calculations and technical requirements, as defined in international rules, guidelines and standards and applied in modern shipbuilding and fleet O&M.
– Recognize and comprehensively understand the special requirements of each marine engineering and naval architecture application, depending on the type and its operational profile AND implement the relevant rules, codes, processes and recommendations for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of ships and fleets.
– Conduct the needed advanced calculations, monitoring processes, supervise constructions and apply class rules and technical recommendations.

Market Driven Course:
Greek shipping companies constitute a key pillar of the Greek Economy, employing several Greek engineers and scientists in the branch of Operation and Mainte- nance of existing Greek owned fleets, as well as in the branch of new buildings in shipyards around the globe. It is to be highlighted that in Greece are based more than 700 shipping companies, managing more than 4700 ships of total tonnage of 303.5 million tones DWT. It is also noticeable that the average age of the Greek owned fleet decreased significantly the recent years, evidently proving the trust of the ship-owners to new marine technologies and environmental friendly ships. The continuously expanding fleet size in conjunc- tion with its modernization makes imperative the employment of engineers, operators and managers with advanced and updated engineering knowledge and specialization. Considering that today the majority of Greek Shipping companies employ a wide range of engineers with different undergraduate studies (mechanical engineers, marine engineers, naval architects, electrical engineers, automation experts etc), the significance of the offered lifelong education course of the Technological Educational Institute of Athens is obvious, since aims to qualify properly the stakeholders to meet the steeply increasing require- ments and challenges of expanding shipping sector.
