About Us

SMIT is a progressive Registered Training Organisation providing training for people involved in the maritime, transport, seafood (fisheries), hospitality and tourism industries as well as oil and gas.

Seafood & Maritime Industries Training Ltd. (SMIT) is a not-for-profit, industry based provider established in 1995.

SMIT provides a range of training courses as well as being involved in national projects for the development of the maritime certificate curriculum.

The qualifications gained through SMIT are credit transferable and articulated all around Australia. SMIT is endorsed to facilitate the new national MAR (Maritime – Release 10) Industry Training Package.

English language, literacy and numeracy support is offered to learners who do not speak English as a first language – and to other groups who require assistance to become proficient in the use of industry specific language.

Professional development programs for trainers, supervisors, executives and managers are available and every effort is made to provide for innovative and flexible methods of training. Courses are conducted as face-to-face classes at SMIT training rooms. However, the organisation can customise courses for industry, community and individual requirements and deliver at your work place or at SMIT facilities.

The teaching staff are highly trained assessors and work place trainers who also hold professional qualifications and have extensive experience in the maritime and seafood industries.
