Competence & Training Profile
Competence & Training is a core IMCA activity working on behalf of all members world-wide to help address issues relating to personnel in the marine contracting sector.

The Competence & Training committee also co-ordinates training issues undertaken throughout IMCA and implements much of the association's work on recruitment and careers promotion issues, vital to ensuring the industry recruits and retains the skilled workforce it needs to undertake its operations safely.
