Quadrant Marine Institute

Marine Service Managers (MSM) face unique challenges in their day-to-day operations. They need industry-specific training to build capacity and capability in their companies.

This is not just a seminar where you sit and listen. In a series of hands-on workshops, you collaborate with industry partners and mentors to design the exact tools you need to succeed. We work hard to make sure what you learn is relevant and ready to implement as soon as you get back to work.

The MSM certification course was developed by industry, for industry. This is your management ROAD TO SKILL and opportunity to grow in the following areas:

• Managing Projects
• Running a Business
• Managing Employees
• Marine Service Health & Safety
• Marketing & Customer Experience
• Money Matters
• When you need your Lawyer
• Contracts
• Marine Insurance

MSM training has 4 phases:

1. Online learning of foundational topics: These modules are self-paced and must be completed by the start of the first workshop.
2. 3x Friday/Saturday activity-based workshops: Over 6 days of in-person training, you learn to apply the foundational topics to real-world situations.
3. 2-3 months at work: This is your time to create, implement and evaluate processes specific to you and your role with your company.
4. Competency conversation & certification: A review of the processes you implemented during your time back at work.

When you come to the workshops, you'll apply everything you learn in the online modules to a simulated project that you will implement in your daily work.

In-person workshops take place in our classroom space in Vancouver or Sidney (in alternate years).
