The STCW / Competency Course Finder and STCW Course Best Deal Portal, both initiatives by Merchant Navy Decoded, are intended solely for informational purposes. These platforms aim to assist seafarers in finding DG-approved training institutes offering Competency Courses, STCW, and Advanced Courses. However, we do not promote or recommend any of the listed institutes for Pre-Sea Training Courses.

All information presented—such as institute listings, course availability, and fee deals—is based on independent research and inputs provided by the respective training institutes. We strive to maintain accuracy and reliability but do not guarantee the completeness, timeliness, accuracy, or suitability of the information. Course fees and offers are entirely determined by the respective institutes and may change without notice. We do not charge any fee or commission from students and remain an impartial platform.

Please be advised that any decisions made based on the information provided on either portal are made at your own risk. We encourage all users to independently verify institute credentials, course details, and fees before proceeding with any enrollment or financial commitment.

These portals may contain links to third-party websites, over which we have no control. We are not responsible for the content, availability, or accuracy of such sites, and inclusion of these links does not imply endorsement or support of the views expressed on those platforms.
