Marine Publications International - The MPI Group is a publishing & marketing company that has been involved in the marine industry since 1981. It was originally formed to publish the well respected ship repair, maintenance and conversion magazine Drydock which it does to this day. Since those early days it has produced a number of publications and organised many events. This has given the group an impressive list of contacts and a detailed knowledge of the industry.
Our Education and Training department now has an ever increasing portfolio of Diploma courses which currently include Marine Engineering Surveying, Yacht and Small Craft Surveying, Marine Industry Surveying, Cargo Surveying and for the sailing world, Superyacht Operations. Courses that will be coming soon are for the Yacht Brokerage market and Business Management. All courses are by distance learning.
Advantages to Distance Learning
Distance Learning courses have the same objective as conventional college courses; to provide you with the skills and knowledge that you need to progress in your personal and professional lives. For many people, however, it is very inconvenient to travel to college every week to attend a course, and for that reason they miss out on the benefits of training.
Distance learning has numerous advantages: its easier to find the time; you can study at home; there's no loss of earnings as you can study while you work; and you learn at your own pace.
