One of Croatia's first ISO-certified maritime training centres, delivering STCW, Yachtmaster, GMDSS, engineering, medical and HELM courses from Split on the Dalmatian coast.
Book direct →Diverso Impex Maritime Training Center is based in Split, Croatia — the country’s principal maritime hub on the Adriatic — and holds the distinction of being one of Croatia’s first ISO-certified maritime training institutions. Courses are approved by the Croatian Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport & Infrastructure, meaning certificates earned here are recognised under STCW conventions and Croatian national maritime law.
The centre covers an unusually broad spectrum of maritime qualifications: from foundational STCW Basic Safety Training through to national Yachtmaster and Master certificates, GMDSS radio operator qualifications, marine engineering ratings, medical first aid and care at sea, and the full HELM suite for leadership and management at both operational and management levels. Whether you are beginning a seafaring career or upgrading existing certificates, Diverso Impex offers a single location in which to complete multiple qualifications.
Split’s position as Croatia’s main Dalmatian port city — with ferry connections to the Adriatic islands, a direct airport, and motorway links to Zagreb — makes the training centre accessible from across Europe for candidates combining course attendance with time on the water.
