Darving Da Silva De Sousa
I had an absolutely outstanding experience with Stream Marine Training from the very beginning right through to the end. Every part of the process was smooth, professional, and genuinely enjoyable.
A huge shoutout to Nolan, Donald, Paul, and Sean these instructors were nothing short of amazing. Each brought a wealth of real world experience, and their passion for teaching was clear in every session. They weren’t just knowledgeable; they cared about making sure every student truly understood the material. Their energy, encouragement, and hands on approach made the training not only effective but genuinely engaging.
Also, I have to highlight Sophie from the customer service team. She was incredibly helpful, always quick to respond, and answered all of my questions with patience and clarity. Her support made the entire process so much easier, especially when I had doubts or needed guidance. She’s a real asset to the team.
I honestly give them 100 out of 100. If you’re considering maritime training, look no further Stream Marine is the gold standard.Morven Gray
Had a wonderful week at Stream Marine Training for my STCW course. The information and training you get is another level, would highly recommend. The instructors were all lovely and ensured we had a laugh throughout the week.

I've been working offshore since 2017. I've trained in Brazil (2017) and the UAE (2020), and I can say that these were the rudest trainers I've ever had. I see some good reviews, so it is probably not with everyone, but it was honestly my experience. The whole thing was very triggering as I even took my time before writing here. They feel like they're doing you a favor, and I'd not recommend the place to my colleagues.
Anthony Jackson
Very nice facilities and fantastic friendly instructors, couldn't recommend smt more highly, done this course many times and this is by far the best place I have trained with the best prices and easy to get to with clean reasonable priced hotels in walking distance
dyllan corrigan
One of the best courses i have been on, Funny and informative and guiding for everyone and suitable for all types experience. My BOSIET with CAEBS and MIST class was taught by Donald, Paul and James with the help of diving squad. 100% would recommend to anyone on the fence about this, you wont regret it.
Mr X
Just finished the BOSIET course at Stream Marine. Having undertaken the course a couple of times before some years ago, I was pleasantly surprised how well the course was presented and how the whole team made everyone feel relaxed when it came to the Helicopter exercises.
Really enjoyed the course. Excellent staff. And overall the course at Stream was better than alternative providers (who charge double the price).Samantha Strang
Completed the firefighting course with Neil macleod and Sam both fantastic instructors very professional and also made the course fun and felt at ease in throughout the whole session would highly recommend and hope you get these instructors if you take this course course from sam oban
Nathan Bolt
Once again Stream Marine Training knocked it out the park with the course I attended.
Due to a previous course I attended there. I took another course with them.
Plenty of information regarding joining instructions. The instructors are friendly and very knowledgeable. They put you at easy for the start. Facilities were great too.
Would highly recommend this training centre to anyone needing Offshore / GWO / Maritime qualifications.Caitlin Quinn
Completed my STCW course here. All staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Neil Macleod and Sam Nicholson from Fire Fighting and Fire Prevention were exceptional throughout and made it a very fun experience!!
Scott Farrell
I have just completed my BOSIET and MIST training.
The instructors were highly knowledgeable and, more importantly, excellent teachers. Their first-hand experience in the subjects they taught made the courses engaging and easy to understand. To top it off, the pricing was unbeatable!Sean
Highly recommend, completed the bosiet with ca ebs and mist course this week. Fist time doing this course and the instructors were helpful and a good laugh . Free hot drinks machine also free lunch provided which was a bonus
George Bridewell
Attended BOSIET and MIST course. Very knowledgeable instructors that create a calm environment conducive to effective learning. Adaptions were made to support learners and all learners were treated fairly. Along with this I lost my wedding ring in the pool, the next week they had divers searching for it, luckily found it and have posted it to me. I will certainly be returning to Stream Marine Training in the future.
Stewart Mccabe
Just completed the bosiet with ca ebs and mist course this week.
Would thoroughly recommend.
Staff very professional, great content, excellent facility. Was first time doing this and they settled any nerves and made me feel confident and relaxed about it, amazing price also and the lunches were spot on for meElyssia H
Did the BOSIET course here. All the staff here are absolutely lovely & super helpful. I was super nervous about the CA-EBS part of the course as I hate suba diving. The diver was super patient with me & let me take all the time I needed. Even though I was stressed, he managed to keep me calm & give me great advice, which I really appreciated. I would definitely come back again for another course. You also get free hot drinks & good food options which is a nice addition
Olanrewaju Salaudeen
I recently had my OPITO BOSIET training in this amazing center and trust me when I say this is the best training center you can get your trainings done. From the theory to the practical sessions were handled with utmost form of professionalism. Oh my Donald!!
Cait Tootill
Huge thanks for Stream Marine, I did my bosiet/mist and it was a lovely family feel between the instructors, all helping each other out to give the best course possible! Happy birthday Paul
Ross Matthews
Did the BOSIET course here. Brilliant course and facilities. Instructors (despite Donald’s questionable moustache and Paul’s advancing age) were brilliant. Would definitely recommend.
Mark Wilson
Just done my BOSIET and MIST training. Excellent training from start to finish. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to do these courses staff and instructors were very good
Brian Kemp
Came to Stream Marine to re-new my offshore BOSIET.
Fantastic facility, training curriculum was on par with the well known providers in Aberdeen and Newcastle.
Paul, Nicole and Donald were on par delivering the training modules.Denys Bondar
Hi everyone, I’ve just passed BOSIET & MIST here and can fully recommend this training center!) Especially for people from Ukraine who want to build their career in the Oil & Gas sector in the UK, you will not find a better training center than this one.
Colin Guthrie-Dawber
As an experienced offshore freelance worker in the O&G industry I needed a training establishment that didn’t treat those of us requiring re validation of FOET like a cash cow.
I wanted to find an establishment that didn’t herd its delegates through the process like an abattoir.
At SMT I do believe I found it.
Starting the day with humour and light hearted banter as delegates checked in, the relaxed yet professional approach to delivery of the subject.
The recognition that six experienced delegates didn’t need talking down to, nor points belaboured was helpful. We six delegates all appeared relaxed and confident that SMT were treating us like adults and all of us seemed to enjoy our day doing our FOET.
As a mature individual with many refreshers under my belt I still approach certain elements of pool work with trepidation. To have a diver spend time ensuring I was calm and relaxed to get the most out of the EBS element, to have plenty of other poolside staff all keeping an eye out and encouraging us was refreshing compared to other establishments.
I cannot sing the praises of SMT highly enough.
Competitively priced, efficiently run, a corporate deal at Holiday Inn Express saving me £40 and a good lunchtime sandwich made my Friday wiz by.
The “Harry Worth” gag first thing in the morning was memorableKevin Henderson
Just completed my OERTM course with instructors Neil and Paul, both fantastic and give you a wealth of knowledge and information.
I would highly recommend Stream marine the courses are professional and detailed, they have a great wealth of knowledge but they make learning fun and easy to understand, all this and they provide daily lunch for you aswell. Great facilities and courses.Chris Dev

Attended Bosiet and Mist course. Facilities were good and course was informative. Instructor's are great and helped through the full course. Would recommend.
Peter Howard
Following a change of career, I was required to undertake the STCW Basic Safety Training Course. Over may years in the public sector I have undertaken a large number of role specific training courses and was a bit apprehensive of a complete change. I needn't have worried as the staff at Steam Marine provided 5 days of well structured, informative training. Although all the candidates were from contrasting backgrounds and experience, the staff supported us and provided high quality training that engaged everyone. The entire cohort gelled and worked together for the common goal of successfully completing each stage. The experience was excellent and enjoyable with learning mixed with humour. I would highly recommend taking one of their courses, and hope I get another opportunity of being able to come back a gain more knowledge and experience. Just warm the pool a bit more for us previous land lovers.
Jay MacKay
did my STCW train and was great as trainers where great at informing us and training us. only feedback is that the fire training facility could use showers as its very much needed after wearing full PPE and doing training exercises.
Scott Craig
Recently done the BOSIET course with Stream marine and couldn’t fault any bit. Nicole was a great trainer and very thorough. Was also quite nervous but the instructors put me at ease very quickly. Would definitely recommend.
John Morrison
Attended a FOET today led by Paul. Great course delivery and practical exercises, all the staff were easy to approach and very helpful. Great value for money and fantastic location, right next to Glasgow International Airport and free onsite parking for those driving.
Tamas K
Great facilities, very VERY accommodating. Did a course Mon - Fri and I was very pleasantly surprised. No corners cut, safety is 100% and the value for money is probably the best in the UK.
If you're hesitating between training centers and SMT is on your list, book it here. If not on your list - it is should be...John Neilson
Done the Bosiet And Mist CA-EBS
Good Location, Easy Parking. Nicole,Paul,David And rest of the team Do there Best For you..I've been on 3 Similar Bosiet Courses This one was the best Value for £££ And Excellent Training Beside that. Would Highly Recommend.Jennifer Grimes
Going in with confidence to find that it wasn't as easy as I expected, Nicole was supportive, calming and helped me through the parts I found difficult! She was really patient with me and talked me through a lot of the situations! An asset to the company. Thanks again!
Mike Shatwell
Good facilities and lunch. Great location. Cheap flights to Glasgow then you can walk to the hotels and the campus.
william ballantyne
I completed the working at heights refresher and FOET courses last week. I found all the staff excellent in both courses and the divers involved in the FOET CA-EBS were great. I would not hesitate in recommending SMT.
Poppy Blues

Really enjoyed my training at Stream Marine. The instructors made me feel relaxed with the whole process, from the very start.
The training facilities are excellent, with every aspect of the equipment being of a very high standard
A great choice of tea/coffee(free) and extensive lunch menu are also included in your training package.
Overall a great experience, with highly competent instructors & a very relaxed but safety conscious atmosphere.Mark Cottrell
Excellent course.
Instructors clrar and precise.
Enjoyable all round.
Definitely encourage anyone e to train and learn at SMT. VERY FRIENDLY.Nuno Silva
Went in for STCW CMHB course, and I was recieved with a great welcome, great teacher, very nice location right next to the airport.
Jarred Hellon
Divers and assisting staff couldn't have been better, good facilities and good location.
Be prepared to be spoke to like a soldier and a child by Gina who takes the course. Didn't like being questioned to the point I got ignored.
She spends a lot of time waffling on about herself when all you want to do is crack on with the course and get home.
Apart from her id highly recommend stream marine , great price too.Ricky G
I completed my Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training with Stream Marine Training this week. Both trainers Jena and Mark were very knowledgeable and highly experienced. I felt confident and safe every step of the way. I would highly recommend Stream Marine Training to anyone. Also, they have the best course prices, which is why I travelled to train here from Aberdeen.
Duncs Duncs
Completed a refresher FOET 1 day course at SMT great facilities and instructors, Paul and mark were very friendly and knowledgeable and easy to approach with questions. Highly recommend this facility for all training.
Zander young
I've done a lot of courses here during the years and it has always been a straight forward easy process. Instructors are very knowledgeable and equipment in good condition.
Location is really handy at the airport for quick getaways and there is always plenty parking. Plenty of choice with lunches and staff are genuinely there to help.Steven Dolan

Absolutely loved itMarinerJames
Best training centre for GWO and STCW courses. Instructors like Mark have good knowledge and experience on the subjects. Class is well tailored and training objectives adhered to. Highly recommend.
Chris Bauer
Carried out the GWO Basic Safety Training and STCW Basic Safety Training. The instructors were brilliant, they knew their stuff and made the learning enjoyable throughout the week.
I’ve recommended Stream Marine Training to a few of my offshore colleagues and a few agencies I’ve worked with due to the professional nature and the competitive pricing.Colin McFadyen
Fantastic training provider with great facilities located close to Glasgow. I recently completed my GWO BST here and couldn’t rate the staff and facilities more. Everyone was helpful from booking the course to completing.
Calum Reid
The instructor Niall doesn’t make you feel at ease in his classes (FPFF + PST), often taking the piss out of people and acting like he’s still in the Royal Navy. My class was too scared and intimidated to answer most questions in case we got them wrong. He needs to speak to people with more respect. Niall also went around the class asking everyone what their salary was and that he was on £34k as an instructor at SMT which was unprofessional. He got offended when some people said they earned double his salary. He then asked if he could get a job with that company as he has 32 years experience in the Royal Navy.
Emily Mcginness
Went and did the STCW course which I really enjoyed taught me all sorts of things you just never think about. I was the only girl on my course never once felt uncomfortable or unsafe. And to top it off all the instructors were sexy
Edmundo Tia

I done my PST refresh and my fire fighting refresh the staff were very helpful and enjoyed my 2 courses thanks I would advise anyone to do there courses there thanks.
Robbie Porter
I renewed my STCW certificates here September 2021. Good instructors. The fire fighting facility has no showers and you have to walk to the other side of the airport (to Stream House) to get a shower. Not ideal when your stinking of smoke and sweating buckets after fighting fires!

Was booked on route 1 FRB refresher the 20th August and the course was delayed due to another ongoing course. I knew something was wrong when they pushed Two tea breaks onto us within an hour and this is after starting late aswell. According to the itinerary the second part of the course was in Greenock from 1500 till 1700, we were still in the course centre at Paisley at 1615. I raised my concerns that I wouldn't be back to Paisley training centre in time to check my hold luggage in and they showed no interest whatsoever and said I would need to come back on another date. On top of the original course price I have had flights and accommodation to pay for and there attitude is I will have to pay again because they are double booking there training venues to reap more money. When I booked the course I asked the reception what time I would be back in Paisley so I book flight and I was assured it would be 1700. Also throughout the day myself and another candidate raised concerns with the instructors about getting back for 1700 and they said not a problem. Due to stringing people along people were unable to change flights
Miklós Csere
I did a Medical First Aid training, instead of Medical Care what I have booked. Even I did plenty first aid trainings already and myself also First Aid Instructor, I should say the Instructor during the training was very good he knows more than requested for this training, professional and kind. No Scottish accent at all.
I had some issues because of booking, but the administrative staff was flexible and we solved the issue in 2-3 min. Highly recommended for seafarers.Michael Lapit
Good facilities,excellent instructors.Enjoyed the courses I was on.
Robert Clark
Nice place first time there and would come again in the future

Instructor was excellent, fairly informal approach but knowledgeable.
Free on site parking.Stuart Brandish
First class friendly training,
All STCW refresher courses were conducted in a calm manner by the lectures with a bit of good humour thrown in to lighten the day.
At no time is there ever any pressure put on students during the exercises,
Well done gents and ill see you next timeGraeme Kay
Good, Used them numerous Times, Would Definately Recommend to Colleagues !!!
Daniel O'Brien
What a service and team, from the reception staff, instructors to the back room staff. All course i attended were delivered professionally with the odd splattering of humour thrown in making them informative and funny. The facilities and equipment are modern and well maintained.I personally struggled with one particular part of a course, which required a few visits but the team stuck with me and helped me too get through it. Thanks one and all Dan.
Max Staylock
I was told to arrive and received joining instructions for the wrong day, costing me a days work and travel costs. When I tried to complain, I got nowhere, like they could not care less. The courses themselves were pretty average, and taught without much interest or enthusiasm. Free parking though.
Mike Boyle
A very enjoyable training experience, the fire ground is well hidden and the directions very vague.
James Bryant
Great instructors, good facilities and coping with the cv19 distancing requirements professionally.
James Smith
Dident do it yetttt
Davy Gravy
They have decent facilities. Very clean. Very COVID-conscious.
The lecturers are fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and reassuring.
The only downside is that they dont lay-on any biscuits.
Seriously.
No biscuits!Kevin Robertson
I had my fire prevention update course today and was so impressed that I decided to book my survival technique course when I got home. It was 17:30 when I booked it and out of hours. I contacted SMT on Facebook and explained that I booked after hours and didn’t have any joining instructions. They went the extra mile and ensured that I had everything I needed within a few hours so that I could go to sleep knowing everything was in place. Fantastic service and I would fully recommend.
Noel Conaghan
Excellent tutelage in FF.
