    I am working as a pilot for 14 years, in all my professional life I have visited many simulators, but I have never experienced a simulator as professional, productive, and real as the
    MTMaritime simulator.
    I came to Simulator in order to undergo training for driving Azipod thrusters, the training by Malta pilots (who are responsible for the institute) was personal, very professional, for every action I did, their response was very positive to help, correct, warn, and make sure that I leave the institute with full understanding and the quality of the material studied.
    Beyond that, and the most important of all, the simulator itself, simulates in a good way the models of the ships taught in the course, the behavior of the ships is almost optimally similar to the behavior of the ships in reality, I felt that I received the best guidance that can be received from the instructors of such a course, people who are experienced master mariners in the past, And professional and very nice and humane skilled pilots.
    Many thanks to the entire simulator team, you have been a great help to me in my professional endeavors.

    The couse and instructors were great. Over the four weeks, though explanations and questioning to prepare us for the Oral exam. By the time the oral exam arrived, we were comfortable with the level on knowledge we had and prepared for which ever examiner would be on the day.

    This is a big step forward in maritime training. The school is very well equipped and organised. School tutoring is done by proficient teachers who can deliver to the students. My last course at the school was Medical Care and both lectures ( doctor and nurse) were amazing. The Managment is very responsive and accommodating. School practice material is readily available and modern. The only thing I was not too keen about was the food supplied, needs to be stepped up a bit especially for different dietary needs.

    This maritime academy is absolutely wonderful for people who are wanting to start a career at sea. I am very satisfied with the service. The school is clean and tidy, the building is new and everything top notch and modern. The teachers are all seasoned maritime captains and the front desk and other stuff is maintained by Sue Abela who is very helpful and nice. She makes you feel at home.
