The Institute's Center for Maritime Education (CME) empowers mariners with valuable training, providing professional advancement opportunities through SCI-developed and USCG-approved courses. Instructors train mariners utilizing expertise in adult education principles and the latest computer simulation technology.

The Institute’s training programs provide continuing education that saves both crew and passenger lives and meets the challenges faced in the new millennium of maritime security. SCI staff works with experts from various fields preparing curricula and designing simulator exercises.

SCI’s computer simulators rank top in the world. They challenge mariners’ reactions and skills, using realistic, three-dimensional projections on a lifelike replica of a towboat pilothouse. SCI has more than 20 years of multi-bridge interactive simulation experience.
