Two training centres for Navy personnel

ROYAL Malaysian Navy personnel will have better access to knowledge on the maritime industry with two of its training centres being recognised as Maritime Training Institutes (MTI).

Navy chief Admiral Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar said the KD Pelandok and KD Sultan Idris I had both obtained the status of MTI from the Marine Department and would conduct maritime training courses besides naval training, after this.

For a start, the two MTIs would train Navy personnel in Basic Safety and Training, and Tanker Familiarisation to help them better understand the workings of the maritime industry.

"Each module will take at least a month to complete," he said after receiving the certificates for the MTIs from the department on Friday.

Abdul Aziz said basic modules such as Medical First Aid, Survival Craft and Rescue Boats, Advance Fire Fighting, Radar Observer, Electronic Navigation Aids, General Operator's Certificate, Deck Watch Keeping Officer and Watch Keeping Engineer, would be added later on.

"It will depend on the progress made by our trainees," he said.

He added that Navy personnel who underwent the compulsory training conducted by the two MTIs would have greater chances of being accepted into other private MTIs should they wish to pursue further training on their own eventually.

"With the certificates, our Navy personnel can seek jobs in the shipping, and oil and gas exploration sectors after they retire. We hope our MTIs will be able to produce highly competent personnel and increase their marketability," he said.

The Navy had also celebrated its 78th Navy Day themed "Innovative People to Generate Transformation" on the same day.

In his speech, Abdul Aziz said the culture of innovation must be adopted to produce people with creative thinking.

"It will increase our competitiveness and thus, bring us closer to becoming a world class Navy," he said.

Lumut MP Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha and marine department director-general Datuk Capt Ahmad Othman were also present at the event.
