About Northeast Maritime Institute Northeast Maritime Institute is a private, co-educational institution that offers its students an education with the opportunity to pursue a maritime oriented career.

Northeast Maritime Institute was founded in 1981 and prides itself on being one of the forerunners in private maritime training and education in both the United States and around the world. As an organization that revolves around the needs of its students, NMI is dedicated to ensuring that each student receives top-quality training and education as well as the highest dedication of service from our staff and administration.

The Continuing Education Program was established to help fill a growing need for US Coast Guard and Dominica Maritime Administration approved license and document courses, as well as maritime safety and ship

operation education. NMI also offers programs that provide students with a Certificate of Training upon completion. These certificate programs offer a unique curriculum of classroom instruction and hands-on training at sea, as well as some of the best simulation training in the world. NMI strives to provide our students with the most up to date training programs required to obtain their USCG and/or Commonwealth of Dominica license or Merchant Mariner document. NMI works with communities worldwide to develop awareness for safe and efficient maritime operations for both the recreational and commercial operator. The programs at Northeast Maritime Institute uphold centuries of New Bedford tradition and history of providing skilled seafarers for work around the world.

Mission The mission of Northeast Maritime Institute is to equip our graduates with the combination of knowledge, critical thinking, problem solving, ethical decision making and confidence that will enable them to safely and efficiently operate, maintain and manage the ships of today and the maritime industry of tomorrow.

A Message from the President As a former US Coast Guard reservist during high school and college, I was attracted to the sea for all it had to offer, especially the life-saving tradition that the Coast Guard tradition offered. While my formal education was helpful, it was the sea and the men and women that toiled on her that provided me with the best education that I have experienced to date.

I began my merchant marine career as an ordinary seaman on the M/V Lake Charles, a 125,000 cubic meter LNG carrier. Life on the Lake Charles and numerous other merchant ships gave me the background necessary to obtain an Unlimited Mates License and a Limited Masters License and to learn the necessary life skills that were needed to run a number of maritime related businesses with global scope.

As a result of my many experiences I have dedicated my life to giving back to the men and women of my community – the maritime community.

Any young man or woman seeking advice from me about careers at sea gets the same speech that I was given:

the Atlantic Ocean during a moonlit evening, or seeing the humpback whales breaching in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

With the advent of STCW ’95, many predicted that smaller educational programs outside of higher educational models would fail. Well, that was almost two decades ago and Northeast Maritime Institute is now over 30 years old. We hope to continue to serve the maritime community with as much enthusiasm as we had when we started.

I hope that your interest in a maritime career brings you through the doors of Northeast Maritime Institute as it has been the stopping point for over 12,000 mariners since 1981. We will and shall always consider it an honor to serve as the platform from which many a mariner began a career or augmented his or her career track by attending classes here. More importantly, we want to ensure that we abide by our own creed to “Honor the Mariner.”

My best to all,

“Your fondest memories will revolve around your sea-going career.”

I remember the vivid moments when I saw the luminescent porpoise swimming alongside the bow of our vessel leading us from the Straits of Gibraltar into

Eric R. Dawicki President Northeast Maritime Institute

Northeast Maritime Courses the transfer of knowledge and skills to those being trained through NMI course material.

The purpose of courses taught at Northeast Maritime Institute is to provide professional mariners with the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to successfully and safely carry out their responsibilities aboard ships, as required by national and international standards and regulations.

Because educational systems and the cultural backgrounds of trainees in maritime subjects vary considerably from country to country, the course materials have been designed to identify the basic requirements and trainee target group for each course in universally applicable terms, and to clearly specify the technical content and levels of knowledge and skills necessary to meet the technical intent of International Maritime Organization conventions (STCW) and related USCG recommendations.

It is not the intention of the courses to provide instructors with a “cook book” syllabus which substitutes for professional skill and experience, nor is it the intention to substitute audio-visual or ‘programmed’ material for the instructor’s presence.

As in all training endeavors, the experience, skills, and dedication of the instructor are the key components in

United Stated Coast Guard Approved Training and Standards of Training and Certification for Watchkeepers Training Prerequisite STCW training as well as STCW Upgrade Required Courses are available for Able Seaman, Ratings Forming Part of a Navigational Watch, 3rd Mate / Officer in Charge of a Navigational Watch and Master 200 GRT.

Northeast Maritime Institute has United States Coast Guard approval to conduct a number of courses that are required by the International Convention on Standards of Training and Certification for Watchkeepers and Seafarers 1995 (STCW ’95).

Commonwealth of Dominica Approved Training Northeast Maritime Institute is the host to the Commonwealth of Dominica Office of Maritime Affairs and Marine Personnel. The Dominica Maritime Administration is known as “The Flag of Responsibility.” The Dominica registry is fast becoming

Captain Jeffrey Sylvia Primary Upper Level Instructor For the person who wishes for a life at sea being a credentialed Able Bodied Seaman is the way to go. The required credential will give you the opportunity to serve in an industry that has several types of work in the maritime world. For example, working in the oil industry on supply vessels or in the research industry with opportunities available for worldwide travel can be a rewarding occupation. The “Big Ship” industry (Tankers and Cargo vessels) and the “Tug and Barge” industry offer opportunities for those who wish to stay closer to home. All of these jobs are good paying, safe, and professional but can be only obtained by your becoming a licensed Mariner. At Northeast Maritime Institute you will be provided with the training you need to embark on your new adventures in life. Are you ready for it?

Mate (Pilot) Program This Two-Phase program begins with a United States Coast Guard (USCG) approved 20-month education and training program providing the graduate with a USCG Apprentice Mate (Steersman) license. The objective of this program is to take candidates from the date of hire to the point of obtaining an Apprentice Mate (Steersman) license. They will obtain this license through an intensive sequence of current NMI Coast Guard-approved courses, simulator training, on-board experience, and training and evaluation aboard vendor fleets.

The second phase of the program takes the Apprentice Mate Steersmen through an additional 20-month program to obtain a USCG license as Mate of Motor vessels, a 200GT upon Inland waters with a Western Rivers endorsement. The programs are approved in accordance with 46 CFR 10.304. This program is USCG approved in lieu of the traditional deck to wheelhouse training cycle currently in place on the Western Rivers system. This program elevates the skill level of the mariner with intensive step by step, modulated training cycles over an average 3 year 3 month period vs. the traditional process on the Western Rivers spanning 5 to 7 years.

The approved program reduces the required sea-time by almost 50%, by combining classroom time, simulator time, on-board experience, training and evaluation.

The programs include the following individually USCG approved NMI courses: First Aid/ CPR Personal Safety and Social Responsibility Personal Survival Techniques Able Bodied Seaman Unlimited Basic and Advanced Fire Fighting OUPV Master 100 Ton upgrade Master/Mate 200 Ton upgrade Radar Observer Unlimited

Any applicant who has successfully completed the Mate (Pilot) of Towing Vessels Program (NOREMI-296) will receive 270 days of sea service credit that may be used to qualify for a credential as Mate (Pilot) of Towing Vessels Inland and/or Western Rivers. Service acquired during the “at-sea” periods of this program may be used in addition to this sea service award to qualify for the Mate (Pilot) credential and will be credited at 1:5 to 1.

The at-sea service should be documented with a normal service letter from the vessel operator. Applicants must obtain at least 90 days of service on each route they will be licensed for, and must present a completed Towing Officer Assessment Record (TOAR) for each route.

Maritime Fact Pilotage is one of the oldest professions, as old as sea travel itself, and it is one of the most important in maritime safety. The oldest recorded history dates back to about the 7th century BC. The economic and environmental risk from today's large cargo ships makes the role of the pilot essential.

Company Training Vessel Response Northeast Maritime Institute will custom design training for individual organizations. Increasing requirements in the maritime industry demand more and more training for shipboard and shore side personnel. We understand the need for increased training in the following areas to minimize problems for all shipping organizations: Shipping Damage Control Emergency Medical Catastrophic Response Oil Spill Response Vessel Management Liability Vessel Response

Company Training has lowered costs incurred by potential insurance claims and general costs of Hull and Machinery and Protection and Indemnification.

Northeast Maritime Institute will design specific drills for individual vessels and facilities. Quick response capabilities can reduce potential crisis situations when personnel are properly trained. For shipboard personnel, we can design drills that include specific focus on firefighting, damage control, emergency medical response, etc. We can also focus on each individual vessel in your organization’s fleet to better prepare your crew’s response to emergencies.

Group Rates Contact the Registration Office to talk about your company’s training needs and to see if you qualify for discounted group training rates.

Capt. Robert C. Glover III Maritime Instructor / Assessor, Lead Simulator Instructor What types of Company Training Programs has Northeast Maritime Institute been involved in?

- NMI over the years has partnered with national and international companies to solve their maritime training needs.

These training needs produced the first USCG approved comprehensive 18 month licensing program in the U.S., from a private maritime school, taking a candidate to a 200 Ton Mate’s license with a Western Rivers Towing endorsement.

Additionally, we have worked with maritime companies such as towing and ferry services, to highlight just two, in providing efficient cost effective license upgrade programs serving the licensed mariner. NMI also works with the US Veterans Administration to assist our veterans who desire a career in the maritime field. Staff and instructors also work internationally, providing IMO-STCW instruction/assessment in addition to policy and regulatory training.

The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days after the day Northeast Maritime Institute receives a request for access. A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The school official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the school official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.

2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the school to amend a record should write the school official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested, the school will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.

Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is: FERPA permits the disclosure of PII from students’ education records, without consent of the student, if the disclosure meets certain conditions found in §99.31 of the FERPA regulations. Except for disclosures to school officials, disclosures related to some judicial orders or lawfully issued subpoenas, disclosures of directory information, and disclosures to the student, §99.32 of FERPA regulations requires the institution to record the disclosure. Eligible students have a right to inspect and review the record of disclosures.

Non-Discrimination / Non-harassment Policy Under the Institute’s policy harassing or discriminatory behaviors will not be tolerated. Therefore, it is the responsibility of every member of the NMI community to strictly comply with the policy and any procedures directed by the President to implement the policy.

Unlawful Discrimination: different treatment of or denial of a benefit to a person because of the person’s protected status. Harassment, which is defined below, is a form of discrimination.

Harassment: verbal, visual, or physical behavior that: 1. can reasonably be perceived by the receiver(s) as unwelcome/offensive and refers in a demeaning way to characteristics of any of the groups listed in the policy statement; and 2. creates a hostile or adverse work/educational environment; and subjects employees or students to different terms or conditions based on the characteristics listed in the policy statement.

Examples of harassment may include, but are not limited to: comments, slurs, jokes, symbols, innuendos, cartoons, pranks, physical harassment, etc., which are derogatory on the basis of characteristics listed in the policy statement.

b. HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT cases: harassment that creates a "hostile" work or educational environment.

In typical "hostile work environment" cases, a superior either creates or condones a work environment in which sexual harassment exists. A hostile environment can be caused by sexually demeaning jokes or remarks.

2. Sex-Based Harassment: a behavior that degrades, denigrates, ridicules, and/or is physically abusive of an employee/student because of his or her perceived gender or sexual orientation.

3. Racial Harassment: a behavior that denigrates, ridicules, and or is verbally or is physically abusive of an employee/student because of his or her perceived race.

4. Harassment Based on National Origin: a behavior that denigrates, ridicules, and/or is physically abusive of an employee/student because of his or her perceived ancestry, heritage or background identification.

The most common types of harassment are 1. Sexual Harassment: Sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. The courts have interpreted the principles reflected in the EEOC guidelines as describing two principle types of sexual harassment: a. QUID PRO QUO cases: harassment used as a term or condition of employment or when specific academic or employment benefits are withheld as a means of coercing sexual favors. This type of harassment occurs when the party in the superior position of power uses his or her actual or apparent authority to hire, fire, discipline, promote, or otherwise affect an employee’s benefits of employment or to make academic benefits contingent on desired responses to implied or overt overtones of a sexual or romantic nature.
